Acerca de este libro electrónico
A supernatural thriller that “goes for the throat [and] doesn’t let go . . . Among the best werewolf novels in recent memory” from the Bram Stoker Award–winning author (Rocky Mountain News).
After Skinner Cade’s mother dies, he learns he was adopted. Though his search for his Native American parents hits a dead end, his real name is revealed: Skinwalker.
His frustration explodes into a bar fight, landing him in prison. But everything changes—including himself—when he’s brought to the brink of death during a brutal attack. Skinner transforms into a werewolf, leaving a massacre in the wake of his jailbreak.
Once a college student, now a monster, Skinner embarks on a journey across the West, eventually encountering a pack of fellow vargr, members of a death metal band led by a twin brother and sister with twisted appetites. They take Skinner to the Howl, a werewolf gathering, where he learns about the legacy he carries in his blood—and after a violent melee, rises to become alpha of the pack. It’s only when Skinner goes rogue to save his humanity that he’ll finally discover an inherited power, his true place in the world—and a prophesy only he can fulfill . . .
Praise for Nancy A. Collins
“Possibly the most original voice in the world of vampire fiction since Anne Rice published Interview with a Vampire.” —Film Threat
“Nancy Collins’ bone-colored, blood-smeared star . . . stands bright and hot at the pinnacle of the horror heap.” —Joe R. Lansdale, author of Moon Lake and Bubba Ho-Tep
“If there is such a thing as a splatterpunk masterpiece, Nancy A. Collins has written it.” —Asimov’s Science Fiction/DIV
