Question
I am researching and studying to begin writing a brutal werewolf novel, can you recommend any really well writing, graphic, werewolf novels? I am finding it hard to find a good werewolf novel. Thanks for the help.
take care,
Mick Graham
My all time werewolf fav would definitely be 'Blood of the Wolf' by Jeffrey Goddin.
Several others that are at the top of my list are 'The Hyde Effect' by Steve Vance, 'The Wolfen' by Whitley Strieber, 'The Totem' by David Morrell.

Far too many years reading and writing scary stuff. I tend to the mainstream, but do enjoy the quirky cult type as well, especially cheap paperback kinds. There si some stuff that I won't touch with a 50 foot pole, but what I don't know I will go to efforts to find it out or at the very least, direct you in the right direction. I am very cynical, so if you want me to review stuff or give my opinion, then don't expect it to be an optimistic one.
