Student interested in learning more about L/S & Credit

Hey All -

I am interested in working at a HF upon graduating uni. I am currently studying at Oxbridge and have some internship experience in finance where I picked up essential modelling and valuation skills through the firm's training program. I have been reading into some HF strategies, namely L/S and distressed, and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction for resources to learn more about L/S and credit investing - I'm fairly new to concepts in the credit space but would love to learn more. I've heard that Moyer's distressed debt analysis is a good book to read, but could someone point me in the right direction to other good resources for beginners?

Help is much appreciated!
