As a youth, Ivan Obolensky was regaled with mystical and ghostly tales of his aristocratic and trailblazing ancestors, and these colored the formation and background of his award-winning series, “Eye of the Moon,” translated into Spanish. The first novel, Eye of the Moon, is now available in audiobook. His nonfiction articles on the social sciences are published online.
“A deftly crafted and simply riveting gothic mystery by a master of the genre, Ivan Obolensky’s Eye of the Moon is especially and unreservedly recommended for community library Mystery/Suspense collections. It should be noted for the personal reading lists of dedicated mystery buffs that Eye of the Moon is also available in a paperback edition… and in a digital book format…”
Kirkus Reviews
