World of Darkness: Werewolf, Wyrm Wolf

For horror fans looking for a novel that contains bland dialogue, a predictable plot, and one dimensional characters, please, do not pick up Edo Van Belkom's Wyrm Wolf. But for those of you who enjoy fast paced storytelling, lurid and sensational descriptions, and an abundant amount of Garou (werewolves), then this is a book that no fan of macabre should be without.

Edo van Belkom really captures the mood of the Werewolf: The Apocalypse setting in this 1995 novel. It's the story of Father Wendel Oldman, a priest and werewolf who runs a homeless shelter in a downtrodden portion of San Francisco. When a series of murders begin striking the homeless of his area, he investigates. In the process he discovers new allies, new enemies, and helps to protect the secret of their existence. A lot is packed into this novel and it all comes together well in the end. As Belkom's first novel, it's a great sign of what he'll later accomplish.
