The Last Werewolf (The Last Werewolf 1)

Reviews / Votes

Exciting, often very funny, and surprisingly affecting . . . In its own blood-crazed and sex-dazed way, The Last Werewolf makes the case for literature * * Guardian * * Monstrously good fun * * Observer * * Glorious . . . Wry, world-weary Jake Marlowe would make a fabulous dinner companion. Just not during a full moon -- Justin Cronin * * New York Times * * Sexy, funny, blisteringly intelligent . . . Duncan is the cleverest literary horror merchant since Bram Stoker * * The Times * * A magnificent novel. A brutal, indignant, lunatic howl. A sexy, blood-spattered page-turner, beautifully crafted and full of genuine suspense, that tears the thorax out of the horror genre to create something that stands rapturous and majestic and entirely on its own -- NICK CAVE Loaded with beautifully constructed lunatic ravings . . . A sublime study in literary elegance. It is bloody (and) brilliant * * Independent on Sunday * * Written with such scandalous ferocity and such grizzly humour it feels like the literary equivalent of howling at the moon. Not since Lon Chaney and John Landis has lycanthropy been such a blast, and Glen Duncan offers more danger, gristle and lunatic brilliance per sentence than any writer I can think of -- MATT HAIG Cerebral and campy, philosophical and ironic, The Last Werewolf is a novel that's always licking its bloody lips and winking at us . . . A dark thriller that explodes with enough conspiracies, subterfuges and murders to raise your hackles. Not to mention such hot werewolf sex that you'll be tempted to wander out under the full moon yourself next month * * Washington Post * * Carnal and edgy, with gallons of gore, Duncan's smart horror novel about a werewolf who falls in love while trying to evade capture reworks lycanthropic tropes with a hallucinogenic vividness * * Daily Telegraph * * Dense with literary allusion as well as thrills and spills, it's the antithesis to Twilight * * Guardian * *
