The Work

by Eric Enck

Orviston, Pennsylvania, is haunted… But that’s not the only thing wrong in the Keystone state. Several people are being killed. “Slaughtered” is what the officials are saying. And the rumors have it that a creature with an insatiable thirst for blood is committing these awful acts. Six friends who come to Orviston every year for a hunting trip are about to embark on a final journey; one that will show them what true friends are. They will learn that sharing a common bond sometimes means more than just having a past. One of the six friends works for the maffia, secretly and unknowingly. And now his best buddy’s son has become a mark for death. The only thing worse is that he must be killed for what he has done. But when Mike Delatano goes to finish him off one final night, he finds the mark’s tent empty… A terrifying struggle ensues. The remaining five men each face the legends of Orviston one by one. The work of the maffia and the work of the moon come together in this gut-wrenching struggle for survival… Because sometimes the work is hard and long…the work of evil… And the work of werewolves…

[Adam Huber · Rating 3 out of 5]

Werewolves generally aren't my thing, but blending them with the mafia was an interesting twist on Eric's part. Definitely worth checking out if you're into the genre.
