I don't know.

Read Twisted Legends properly, at last. It's a nice collection...some creepier than others, of course, but decent overall quality. Quite happy...recommended to anyone who's obsessed with urban legends.

And, of course, the hotel on the moon would be pretty much inevitable...
...but the real issue.
Can we develop the moon without starting the first war in space? I fear not...
