I first read the book back in the early 00s.
I think it came out in 2001 and I think I read it within a year of it being released.
I was immediately taken with the world that Neil created,
which was almost like vignettes in the storytelling.
It seemed like it wasn’t immediately translatable to a movie or television,
but the story is so accessible because ultimately it’s about a man who believes in nothing,
coming to be a believer in everything,
and that’s a fantastic journey to see a character take.
That is what resonated with me personally because
I was raised Catholic. I’m fascinated by religious mythology
and it felt like a wonderful opportunity to to be able to
explore what we believe in, why we believe… 
through the story of Shadow Moon.
