Room 5064, in association with Bleak December, are proud to announce that their full cast audio drama The Hungry Moon is now available to buy as download.

Based on the cult 1986 folk horror novel by Liverpool-based writer Ramsey Campbell, the audio version stars Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Louise Jameson, Mina Anwar and, in the lead as Diana, Jemma Moore.

“… to fear the Moon, to feed her as she must be fed, and never to look upon her feeding…”— Druidic triad, quoted by Posidonius

Beneath the black moors of the Derbyshire Peak District, in the village of Moonwell, an unspeakable horror has lain – imprisoned by ancient rites – for millennia. But the arrival of well-meaning Christian evangelists, led by charismatic zealot Godwin Mann, frees the creature – and it draws its attention to the nearby nuclear missile base…

But someone else has found themselves compelled to come to Moonwell – anti-nuclear activist Diana Cheung. Intent on founding a peace camp to protest the missiles, as Godwin Mann’s religious fanaticism infects the populace, Diana and a handful of others – villagers and protestors alike – find themselves persecuted as heretics. And then, an unnatural, all pervading dark descends on Moonwell – a pitch black night that threatens to be a precursor to Armageddon itself…

The Hungry Moon was published in 1986 and quickly became one of Ramsey Campbell’s best known novels, still beloved by fans to this day. Fan and friend of Campbell, Stephen King, said of the novel: “[Campbell] uses the Lovecraftian themes of survival, the occult and the things which may live at the rim of the Universe in a way that rings true for our time.”

The Hungry Moon is adapted by Ian Winterton in four full-length episodes, total runtime: 274 minutes, directed by Anthony DP Mann.

The set Includes the following bonus material: a brand new interview with Ramsey Campbell, conducted in January, 2026 (89 minutes); an interview with the drama’s star, Jemma Moore, conducted January, 2026 (32 minutes); recording of folk song, ‘Harry Moony’, performed by Giles Winterton; a capella version of ‘Harry Moony’, performed by Ramsey Campbell.

All four episodes, plus bonus material, are available to buy now as download for £15.99 from the Room 5064/Cutaway Comics online shop.
