“KEPT ME ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT. GETS YOUR PULSE POUNDING.” —Author and award winning investigative journalist, Victor Malarek
Using a fun, explosive style, full of new slang and fresh dialogue, WHEREWOLVES is the story of a group of high school seniors, most “military brats”, who are headed for an army-type survival weekend.
“5 stars. It reminded me a bit of Lord of the Flies versus Silver Bullet but only way cooler.” —Jennifer Elizabeth Hyndman http://www.amazon.com/WHEREWOLVES-ebook/dp/B00BHIPYQY
“Chillingly terrifying.” —kacunnin http://www.amazon.com/WHEREWOLVES-ebook/dp/B00BHIPYQY
The underdogs, Jeffrey and Doris, do not want to go as they fear for their safety among the disdain and cruelty of the popular students. Sergeant Tim O’Sullivan, their teacher, as well as their dysfunctional parents pressure them into going, but it is an unforgivable act by their peers that propels the pair to go. Likewise, Elie, a student resented because of his Arab roots, is even more determined to prove himself this weekend. In the background, a news report cautions of a wanted couple with alleged super-human strength supposedly brought on by a new drug on the streets.
In the woods, the students hike, hunt, camp, and soon act in unity as the forest brings them closer together. But does it? O’Sullivan leaves them alone for the night. The students bond, chant, tell campfire tales, and quickly lose their fears and inhibitions. HOO-AH! Though sexual tensions are high, it soon turns to violence and everything quickly turns sour.
When the kids start disappearing one after the other, the remaining begin to unwittingly “act like the natives” carving spears, ready to face whatever is out there. What has gotten into them?
Amid blood-curdling growls and gruesome deaths, the story’s underlying layers are revealed. We see how misconceptions, prejudice, greed, fear, and hatred bring out the worst and best in us.
What is out there? Can it really be werewolves?

“SPARKLING DIALOGUE…THE WRITING IS SENSATIONAL.” —Emmy and Peabody Award winning writer, William Mastrosimone
Very cool background.
This is on my to read list with my kindle… =) Sounds kick ass..
Sounds like something I would read
This sounds groovy!
A provocative and chilling reminder of man’s latent inhumanity to his own species.
The writing style is contemporary and humane with coruscating use of idiom and slang beloved of all affinity groups who set out to explore their own culture – but when interwoven with humour and panache creates it’s own compelling, urgent momentum.
A well written and enjoyable read – deserves 5 star status.
Very engaging writing style. Best of luck!
Sounds good !
