The Howling is still one of the best & scariest werewolf novels ever made

In the late 70s a novel cemented the werewolf forever in the minds of normal citizens throughout the world and that book is The Howling.

Brandner’s novel is scarier, meaner & more straightforward than Dante’s film. Whereas Dante added his trademark sly social commentary & comedy Brandner throws us immediately into the fire starting the novel with a chilling prologue in an Eastern European village plagued by wolf attacks (a great opener that must be emulated by every horror writer on the planet) & then immediately follows it up with a brutal sexual assault of the main heroine).Throughout the book, Brandner gives us scenes of suggestive horror (not every scare is a stalking or killing scene), disturbing erotica, thrilling action scenes & of course werewolves stalking & killing humans. To have all these elements in a horror novel in 2019 is rare as finding a frog that can sing & dance.

With regard to its influence the “wolf” novels that were made close to this time period were Wolfen by Whitley Strieber & The Nightwalker by Thomas Tessier. Despite having wolves on their respective covers neither novel is truly a werewolf novel. This is why I think The Howling reigned supreme in the hearts & minds of horror fans. They demanded werewolves and they got a colony full of them.

Oh, did I mention it’s a breezy & fast read?

The first book in the Howling series.

Three years have passed since the horror of Drago when Karyn Beatty & Chris Halloran escaped the great fire which swept through the town destroying all its accursed inhabitants except two. Karyn has built up a new life but always at the back of her mind lies the memory of terror.

Eventually she can no longer ignore the signs that its evil is starting again.
