Can't Let Go

The novel has an incredible fast pace, no long and boring descriptions, just action from the start, so it is very entretaining. It´s funny how everyone that´s not like "people in a magazine ad. Young, beautiful, healthy, rich" ends up being a werewolf... I enjoyed it, but I think The Wolfen by Whitley Striber is a much better novel (and movie)

Gary Brandner's Howling is the best book that I've ever read. A bit picturesque, grotesque, and erotic. Karyn is brutally raped in her apartment.

This book also has a few explicit depictions of sex whichh makes the reader wonder whether or not this is a porno that claims to be horror. If you like this type of stuff, than make a decision. If you're looking for horror prepared to be disappointed... Read Full Review
