This was different than what I expected,......scary thought.

Fangs...you think werewolf, and of course because of the notorious Stephen King you also think rabid dog. Definitly not that. You also hear about the kids that were raised by wolves and those stories always got my attention. Of course the Jungle Book shows the affection side of it for our children's sake but this book goes right down to the facts of what it would be like. The ups and downs, the savagery and the close affection and communial aspects of a pack of wolves. That makes for an interesting story all on its own. But then to add the mating of the wolves creation to a murderer, the outcome brings a whole new twist on things. I love the way the arthur mixes the times together and at first you wonder where it is going but in the end it plays together so well. I have never seen an arthur use that technique before and thought it was excellent. Anyone who has driven through a real country town could also relate to this scary story. I have gone through a town in the mountains that made me scared and i will go miles out of my way to avoid passing through there again. Which seeing that allows me to believe that the story could happen. The whole towns structure and way of life paralled to the life of a pack of wolves but maybe worse. The thought is scary and beyond.
Over the top and not what you think

If you're expecting some type of werewolf/slavering beast type o' book then yer gonna get a surprise. Imagine, if you will, the Texas Chainsaw Masscre done as a generation spanning saga. This is great pulp! I've no idea what happened to this author which is a shame because another novel of his, Biships' Landing, is a classic haunted house yarn. Very visual, jump-cut writing. Treat yourself!
