Talulla Rising (The Last Werewolf 2)

Reviews / Votes

Sexy, funny, blisteringly intelligent. * * The Times * * Like an updated version of Dracula, only for werewolves, and as rewritten by Bret Easton Ellis. * * Guardian * * Glorious -- Justin Cronin, author of The Passage * * New York 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. -- Nick Cave Loaded with beautifully constructed lunatic ravings . . . A sublime study in literary elegance. It is bloody (and) brilliant. * * Independent on Sunday * * A brilliantly original thriller, a love story, a witty treatise on male (and female) urges, even an existential musing on what it is to be human. * * Word Magazine * * Duncan is the cleverest literary horror merchant since Bram Stoker. * * The Times * * I could say that The Last Werewolf is smart, thrilling, funny, moving, beautifully written, and a joy to read, and this would all be true. But it would also be a woeful understatement of what Glen Duncan has accomplished with his extraordinary novel. The only useful thing I can offer you is a simple admonishment. Stop reading my words, and start reading his. Trust me: you'll be happy you did. -- Scott Smith, author of A SIMPLE PLAN and THE RUINS The Last Werewolf is 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 Absolutely brilliant. A surreal, dark and unsettling tale that really did put the bite back into the supernatural. In short, I got a real kick out of it. -- Russel McLean Remarkable for its humour, eloquence and self-aware intelligence. A deeply human narrative about the nature of story itself. -- Stella Duffy
