"When the moon disappears, Daniel Hale is shocked to find that he’s the only person who remembers it. He is quickly committed. As he struggles to comprehend what might have happened to the moon - and to himself - only his doctor, the tenacious Marvin Pallister, holds out hope that Daniel might be cured of his delusion - now dubbed Hale-Pallister’s Lunacy."--Publisher.

The Man Who Remembered the Moon

The first thing that struck me about The Man Who Remembered The Moon is that the book design is super cool. It's a tiny novella with rounded corners and a striking cover. Inside are two interesting stories as well! The main novella is about a man who remembers the moon when no one else does. The book follows him receiving psychological treatment about his delusions as he tries to scientifically and philosophically prove that the moon does exist. It's a fascinating thought experiment.

There's also a short story at the end about two fans of an author that devolved quickly into something quite terrible. It's quite an unnerving read with a bloody ending. 

Neither story is particularly fast-paced as these are literary speculative fiction pieces. The drama comes from the ideas being explored and the atmosphere that develops from these intellectual concepts as they play out in the plot. Definitely worth a read!
