I have just come back from a massive drinking session but if my memory serves does not Mandrake mean a man who likes a man in old English?
(I have skim read the above but I do not own this book so I cannot comment on the book itself)

noun: mandrake; plural noun: mandrakes
a Mediterranean plant of the nightshade family, with a forked fleshy root which supposedly resembles the human form and which was formerly used in herbal medicine and magic; it was alleged to shriek when pulled from the ground.
---oOo---
However, you're not wrong about the other meaning, it seems! Never knew that!

Wow. Moonrunner was easy-peasy compared to LoTSW and I'm not sure I was too crazy about the two throw away lines about the Hunter's sordid past. Almost a poor man's CoH. Poor Gruul fittingly rolled the lowest possible he could get for his Notura. He struck me more as a Moriarty-figure, skilled at 4D-chess moves than magic.
But what is it with Stephen making his protagonists commit wholesale slaughter?
Not that I'm complaining!

And I never even met Conrad Vorhees in my successful run of the book.
Time for a quick replay!

Anyone have any idea what creature is on the cover of Moonrunner?

I think it's the Obsidian Predator.
