Wolfman vs Leviathan

by David Haynes

On a crab fishing boat on the Bering Sea in the midst of a winter storm, the naked body of a wolf man is discovered as the crab pots are reeled in.

Kidnapped by a Russian cult and taken out to sea, Shaw had been nearly sacrificed to the Leviathan, the legendary god-like monster mentioned in several religious texts. The crew of the fishing boat and Shaw encounter the Leviathan and have several fights against the monster and the remaining Russian cult members. They have to fight their way back to port before the Leviathan kills them all and reclaims Shaw—all before the next full moon when Shaw will be unable to control the inner monster.

About the author

When 12 year-old David Haynes picked up a battered copy of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot, he never looked back.

Writing in the grand tradition of the horror paperback originals of his misspent youth, Haynes populates his spine-chilling novels with ancient evils and small-town terrors, mutant monstrosities and knife-wielding psychopaths, and is dedicated to disproving the depressing observation that “...they don’t write ‘em like they used to.”

David Haynes is the author of sixteen horror novels and three collections of macabre short fiction, and lives in England with his wife and dog - that he wasn’t allowed to call Cujo.

Reviews

[Kath Middleton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Take two mythical creatures, a Wolfman and a Leviathan, pit them against each other, and you seemingly have a fight to the death. Add in a crab boat and its crew, and this is an exciting and horrifying tale, which I enjoyed very much. Haynes is a master of the unsettling which rapidly morphs into the terrifying.
