That tended to make the experience a little more harrowing.' could scream, his eyes had exploded from his skull.' I couldn't tear myself away for anything at that point! One character's personal-unrelated-take on the matter: 'Of course, she hadn't had a werewolf chasing her last time. The last two-thirds were nothing less than one spectacular, awe-inspiring thrill ride=as long as mutilations, gut clenching scenes, and rivers of blood and other bodily fluids are your thing.

Although carnage and some incredibly intense scenes are all throughout the novel, I really felt that we got to know the primary characters in greater emotional depth around the middle point. Even his portrayal of the werewolves showed individuality, personalities, and goals of their own. From the good-boy, Duane (Short Pump), the creepy man obsessed with young kids, Weezer, to the horribly abused and misunderstood, Melody, I felt all of the emotions that they were intended to evoke. 'But whatever the species, it all boiled down to the same thing.Īs I've come to expect from this author, his characterization is top-notch. Jonathan Janz continues to amaze me with how he can take creatures that we have read and watched hundreds of books and movies about, and yet still manage to create something completely 'new'! In WOLF LAND, Janz takes on the werewolf lore, and gives us an entirely unique perspective on their origins and behaviors. Highly recommended for fans of gut ripping, intestines falling out kind of werewolf horror! Yeah, baby, yeah! If you're looking for a bit of relief from the stresses of daily life and you want to be entertained, look no further! Wolf Land gives you all the horrors and some humor as well.

You just need to sit back and relax and let Jonathan get you to care for these characters. What I mean is that this is a book where you don't need to do much heavy thinking.

Now, when I say 'the literary equivalent of a B grade movie', that doesn't mean the language or the storytelling were sub-par, because they most definitely were not. That's the position in which I found myself last week, and since I recently interviewed Jonathan Janz for Horror After Dark, I thought this book would fit the bill. Sometimes a reader finds themselves looking for a book which reads like the equivalent of a B grade movie. Wolf Land is a wild, roaring, face-ripping ride!
