Being a avid werewolf fan I also bought this book cause of the cool cover. Gary does an excellent job making you care deeply for the the main Characters (Kyna and Cyrus). I did not want to finish the book and just wanted it to keep going and never end. I have searched for another book that would stand up to this one as far as the werewolf part and romance. I have not found one yet.

If you are a werewolf fan, you are going to love it! Gary Holleman makes this reading a thrilling expierence by interweaving voodoo with the lycanthrope. Being a native Memphian added another wonderful plus, but no matter where you live, this one is sure to keep you freaked!
The Reluctant Werewolf

I read a lot of horror fiction --- and I mean a LOT of horror fiction, so when I say I like something, I'm comparing it to all the other things I've read.HOWL-O-WEEN is better than anything I've read by Stephen King (except, maybe, The Stand). It has characters you care about, become involved with, and want to throttle sometimes for their stupidity. The plot is smooth and flawless, edge of the seat stuff that makes it tough to put down. I'm usually forced to read a book through several sittings because of my schedule. HOWL-O-WEEN I was able to get through much more quickly.The Baron Samedi shaman was a marvelous, though understated villain. His minions struck just the right balance between subservience and suspicion, never quite getting out of hand. The villain's motivation was refreshingly well defined. He wanted to live.That the protagonist really had no idea what was going on through most of the book was an excellent plot device. The werewolf device was not overdone, another good judgment.If you want to read a werewolf novel in the Lon Chaney vein, this is it.
Howl-O-Ween's blend of all things evil was outstanding
