Werewolves discussion

For April 16 through May 15 we are reading Big Bad by Chandler Baker. I'd post reviews for it, but at a glance they look to contain spoilers. So I won't.

It's a novella. Costs $1.99 on Kindle. How wrong can you go? Risk it! Also, I see it was the sixth of six books that comprised Amazon's Creature Feature. Others in the series:

1) The Pram by Joe Hill
2) Ankle Snatcher by Grady Hendrix
3) It Waits in the Woods by Josh Malerman
4) In Bloom by Paul Tremblay
5) Best of Luck by Jason Mott

Now that's good company!

I was surprised that the werewolf entry in the Creature Feature series ended up being such a standout, but it really was. I read all but Ankle Snatcher and they were all very good to great, but Big Bad might be my favorite of them. It's got a lot of depth for any monster story and there are some great twists and tricks in the writing that make it fun, original and scary.

The rest of that Creature Feature lineup could get in there on the basis of their name only. Who ever heard of Chandler Baker before? The only way she could make it in there, I suspect, was to have a superior story.

I think she's pretty well published, it's mostly that she doesn't normally write horror, but her alternative perspective and familiarity with other genres only enhanced Big Bad.

I am extending this read for 16 days to go through the end of May. Mainly because I haven't had a chance to start it yet and I really want to read this. But also because I'd like to get our reads on an even bi-monthly schedule.
