Media Reviews
Wickedly entertaining * * The Times * *
The horror genre at its best - wildly imaginative * * The Times * *
Best described as a gleeful three-way between Raymond Chandler's entire oeuvre, Anne Rice's vampire novels and Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum . . . A high-calorie blast * * New York Times * *
Sexy, funny, blisteringly intelligent. * * The Times * *
A rip-roaring narrative of jet-set travel, transgressive sex, secret societies, vampires, mercenaries, familiars and silver bullets * * SFX Magazine * *
Praise for The Last Werewolf:
Like an updated version of Dracula, only for werewolves, and as rewritten by Bret Easton Ellis.
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 * *
