Customer Reviews

Too typical of the genre

This was seriously disappointing. Lycanthropy as an STD? Please. So original.

Fantastic Novel

I am a big fan of Leisure Books products, mainly those by Brian Keene. I decided to branch out to a different author and I came across Ravenous. I realized I've never read a werewolf novel and the premise seemed quite interesting. This was a book I could not put down. I read it every chance I got, even during work a few times! What I really enjoyed was the intertwining of all the different characters stories. I really cannot think of one dull moment in the story. By the end, I was completely satisfied and craving for more. Luckily there is a sequel in about two months! I cannot wait. I am now going to check out other novels by Ray Garton as a result in the meantime.

The Best Werewolf Novel Ever!

If you have not yet read a Ray Garton book, then you are in for a treat! Before I read this novel, Animals by John Skipp & Craig Spector was my favorite werewolf novel. . . No longer though. . . Ray Garton has written the quintessential werewolf novel! I have always been a fan of the hardcore, violent vampire novels - werewolf novels are generally good, yet I always preferred vampires to werewolves. However, due to this novel, Ray again has changed my preferences - the werewolves in this book could tear a vampire to shreds!! I so hope that Ray chooses to write another werewolf novel - preferably a sequel to this one! I cannot rave enough about this book, so I am not even going to try. It is a super fast read with great characters!! Just go buy it and enjoy it!! You will be glad that you did! myspace.com/horror_reviews

A brilliant return to from for Ray Garton

Been a Garton fan since CRUCIFAX AUTUMN (brilliant) and this is the best novel from Ray since the wonderful SEX AND VIOLENCE IN HOLLYWOOD. A fast-paced bloody novel and a new take on the werewolf mythos. Hoping for a sequel...or 2.

ANOTHER GREAT BOOK FROM RAY GARTON

I've been following the works of Ray Garton ever since Live Girls(which in my opinion is still the best) and Ray's take on werewolves in Ravenous is not only original but excellent. Not to spoil anything but the werewolves in Ravenous while being the Howling/American werewolf in London type werewolf infects others not by bite but by sex. Quite gory and well written, the action is fast paced and suspenseful. Very Highly recomended....

AN INSTANT HORROR CLASSIC!!!

There are some writers who instill a passion in their readers, who have a quiet, but loyal following that would go to the ends of the earth, if necessary, to lay their hands on the next precious copy of their latest work. Ray Garton is one of those writers. His prose literally shines. And yes, I'm one of those groupies:) But thanks to Leisure Books, me and all those others don't have to go quite that far. For those of you unfamiliar with Ray Garton's work, RAVENOUS is a good place to start. Big Rock, California has a little bit of a problem--people are dying in hideously horrible ways. While the physical evidence points to a large, unbelievably large animal, eyewitnesses all tell of a human element being involved. Naturally, the local law enforcement is baffled, especially by the onslaught of half eaten corpses. Big Rock is in the midst of an attack of werewolves, only this isn't your momma's werewolves. No, these are THE REAL DEAL. Forget the folklore, forget the rules. Everything goes out the window. These are some of the baddest mothers you could ever hope (or not) to meet in your nightmares. And they are hellbent on procreating--not through a bite, but through sex. And these werewolves are very, very hungry for more things than just food. The action is hard and fast,connecting like a gut punch. No beloved character is safe. My jaw was constantly dropping (oh no, he didn't!!) Pardon the pun, but I devoured RAVENOUS in one sitting:) Run, boys and girls, don't walk, run and pick up RAVENOUS!!! This is horror the way it should be done!! Don't miss it!!
