Customer Reviews

Genre enlivened by a great sense of place and character

This novel is what genre fiction should offer -- a plot with all the color and energy its subject matter (werewolves) allows, but anchored by a detailed, realistic character and his friends and community. "Moondog" has one of the most viscerally appealing portraits one might find of working class northern Californians; it's a gritty character book and slice of Americana -- and a page-turner, too.
