Moonfellows

In 1906, the Moonfellow Program sent out its first mission from Washington, D.C. Its planners hoped it would steer the course of civilization and open humanity's path into space. It went badly wrong.

A gravedigger with little luck is one of the few survivors stranded on the Moon. Cut off from Earth, the group must face mental breakdown, scheming, and rival plots, while an unknown creature on the far side hunts them down one by one.

The story presents itself as a mostly true account of the men and women Earth left behind on the lunar surface.
