Vampires, Werewolves, and Zombies. discussion

So it seems like the market is full of vampire and zombie stories. But I don't see that many werewolf stories. I love werewolves too, so I was looking for a good werewolf story. I read this... ..and it was crap. Sorry to say it, but it's not that good. Don't get me wrong, I think Anne Rice is a great writer, but that was just such a disappointment. I also read this... ..it was okay. I also bought these... . Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could recommend some good books about werewolves?

Hey, Dan. I've noticed that anthology -- Curse of the Full Moon -- in bookstores and have thought about it for a while, but I haven't jumped on it yet. You'll have to let me know what you think. In the meantime, I will shamelessly offer up my brief, very traditional werewolf story, RUTH DE LUNE, as a possibility (see link at the bottom). I've read Rice's novel and agree entirely with your assessment. One of my readers said of RUTH, in fact, "It beats the s*#t out of THE WOLF GIFT." Which I took as the best blurb one could hope for! Good luck in finding a good read.

Hey thanks, Andy. I really appreciate it. I'll read your story and let you know what I think. Yes, I haven't read Curse of the Full Moon yet, but I was flipping through it a little and it looks very good. I do love short stories and if they are about werewolves that is awesome. I honestly don't know what happened with The Wolf Gift. I've read Rice's Vampire Chronicles and they were great. You would think she'd be good with werewolves. I'll check out RUTH DE LUNE and let you know what I think. Thanks again!

Cool, man. Be sure to rate me and review me on Amazon when you do! What's the word on WOLF MEN, by the way?

Oh yeah, that's another antholofy of short stories about werewolves. It's alright I guess.

Animals by John Skipp and Craig Spector...it's an older book and might be out of print...but it's good!

Oh...I love John Skipp and Craig Spector, they wrote The Light at the End!

Yep! And Book of The Dead! If you can find Animals...it is really good!

Cool, thanks. What's Book of the Dead about?

It's a bunch of short stories about zombies...all of them are good, some more awesome than others. :)

Hi Dan,
I can recommend Maneater and Prey by Thomas Emson, published a few years back but good werewolf thrillers :)

Thanks Nik and J.M.

I know I'm biased, but I think you might enjoy the novel Wolf Hunter. It's available in both print (Amazon) and eBook (Amazon, Smashwords, iTunes Store, B&N).

Wolf Hunter

I just read The Last Werewolf and I thought it was great!

Hi there - I've wrote a couple books about werewolves, though they are very raw and violent and gorey: and both by Mercedes Ludill.

Hi, Dan. Okay you asked the question, so I hope you'll excuse me a shameless self promotion :-)
Check out the link below, for a chance to win a very good(in my opinion) werewolf story.

Ten copies up for grabs as a Goodreads giveaway, until April 30th. Good Luck!

Dan, I second this suggestion below The Last Werewolf - it's the best werewolf book ever, well written, and it has plenty of gore and sex- and it has a sequel- And some other ideas below the Duncan books. Hope you find something you like.

I just read The Last Werewolf by and I thought it was great!

I would have to highly recommend the Bane County series. Very scary stuff boys and girls. The finale comes out next year. 1 through 4 are available at Amazon. I hope this was not a shameless plug?

Not to self-promo really obnoxiously but I just released a werewolf novella. It's a bit on the drama side of horror and was inspired by a lot of old country gothic vibes. It's called Brim's Bane!
