A heavy metal, full throttle werewolf story full of gore, dark humour, and 90's nostalgia. Fun, frightening, and furry!

"A massive jaw was clamped around Kevin's calf, massive teeth sinking deep into flesh. The creature's long black snout quivered with every growling breath, it's malformed face a grotesque parody of a wolf's. The features were all there, but they were distorted-wrong. The head was disproportionally large, with patches of straggly black hair sparsely covering the torso, while parts of the face were bare, exposing hairless skin. Its eyes... Those eyes. They glowed with an unnatural red, piercing the darkness like twin flames."
Super Beast is just so, so much fucking fun. This is exactly what werewolf horror was meant to be, campy, cheesy, over-the-top, extremely violent and incredibly gory, it's essentially a b-movie horror flick in print form, it doesn't take itself too seriously, and instead focuses on making sure the reader is having the most amazing time. This is so super fucking visceral and unhinged, and it's packed full of hyper-violent 90s nostalgia. Super Beast reminded me so much of the type of horror novels that I grew up obsessed by, and consuming an ungodly amount of. It felt like a throwback to the glory days of creature feature horror. God, I cannot stress enough just how fantastic Super Beast actually is, this is purely horror for fun, gore soaked and full of guts and blood and page upon page of death.
Werewolves are among my favorite of horror tropes (when they're done well) thankfully, Super Beast handles the werewolf issue fantastically. The beast is actually horrifying, it's gnarly and grotesque and ugly, it's everything a werewolf should be. Super Beast is an example of vibes based horror done right, and it feels like a love letter to the 90s, the music, the summer getaways, the horror media of the time - What's so wonderful about this book though, is how unapologetically weird it is, how it refuses to adhere to conventionality, how instead, it just goes absolutely crazy and revels in its madness. It also feels so authentically rooted in its time, unlike a lot of other books in the genre, nothing is shoehorned in, it's not overwritten and it doesn't beat you across the head with its references.
I've never read anything by this author before, so I can't comment on what his other writing is like, but here, you can absolutely tell that he was having a blast. There is love and adoration of the craft woven into every single page. There's just so much to love about Super Beast, from the vibes and the atmosphere to the characters and god, that ending and even the cover. It's just all so damn fantastic. With werewolf novels, I always look closely at how the author depicts the wolf itself, Lawler makes it such a horrific, sickening, foul and nasty thing, that its a fucking delight every single time it appears on page. Super Beast is a white-knuckled, full throttle, intense and ferocious story, I beg you all not to pass this one up.
"The creature growled, its eyes narrowing as it bent low, its hot breath washing over Tim's face. Without hesitation, it tore his throat out in one savage motion. Tim's screams ceased instantly, replaced by the gurgling rasp of blood filling his lungs. The wolf paused, sniffing the lifeless body. Before it tore open Tim's chest. Bones cracked like dry twigs as the creature ripped the sternum free and delved into the gore. Its slick hands found what it was searching for. With a wet squelch, it yanked Tim's heart from his chest, holding the still-twitching organ aloft."

"Maybe that was the answer. Maybe he was never meant to have love. To have peace. Maybe that night beneath the angel statue, when he begged God to take it all away, this was the answer he received. Isolation. Eternal hunger. The curse of memory and guilt. Now, he barely resembled a man. Long, matted hair clung to his filthy face. His eyes were hollow, rimmed red from the constant crying that no one ever heard. His fingers trembled as he dragged another lifeless body back to the cave. He dropped to his knees beside it and broke. Raw, ugly sobs tore from his chest. He howled, not as the wolf, but as the man. The man who had nothing left. The man who would never stop trying, because he couldn't bare to be alone, but who already knew the truth. He was the monster in the cave. And monsters don't get happy endings."
