    THE HOWLING
    By
    Gary Brandner

    * * *

    “If you haven’t read Gary Brandner, you’re missing a treat.”
    ~ Stephen King.

    Karyn and her husband Roy had come to the peaceful California village of Drago to escape the savagery of the city. On the surface Drago appeared to be like most small rural towns.
    But it was not.
    The village had a most unsavory history. Unexplained disappearances, sudden deaths.
    People just vanished, never to be found.

      Dec 17, 2020

      As a story of a world-gutting flu pandemic, Stephen King's "The Stand," whose second, superior miniseries adaptation began Thursday on CBS All Access, could not be more timely. And as a story of good and evil facing off for the usual high stakes — a

      A Life Of Her Own

      Mar 21, 2021

      On the morning of her funeral, there were three earthquakes; there were tsunami warnings. This was fitting. Her life had been characterised by chaos. She died, on February 26, in room 12 in a Whanganui rest home. It was a small, stark place. She had

      What a greatly written book! I thoroughly enjoyed it and could barely put it down. I usually have problems with the way authors write so this was a complete and happy surprise. I've seen the film hundreds of times but the book is surpasses it in greatness (which is to be expected as obviously the book came out first).
    • 4/5
      Not quite as good as the first one, and some of the characters (Karyn's new husband, Chris' girlfriend) didn't feel fully formed, but once again Brandner did a good job of building up to the conclusion.

      My chief complaint is the end. Without going into spoiler territory, I just wish Karyn was much less of a damsel in distress and more of a heroine. She needs to solve her own problems.

      Still, all in all, one of the better werewolf books I've read. Especially loved all the references to late 70s life. The Kojak and Charlie's Angels television shows, the Dirty Harry movies, and the novelty of a shopping mall that isn't open air.

      And once again, I must mention the fantastic covers for this Books of the Dead Press edition. Fantastic work.

      On to the last book.
