Paranormal | Fiction
Then she opened her mouth to scream—and recognised me. It
was what I’d been waiting for. She froze. She looked into my
eyes. She said, “It’s you.” Meet Jake. A bit on the elderly side (he turns 201 in
March), but you’d never suspect it. Nonstop sex and exercise
will do that for you—and a diet with lots of animal protein.
Jake is a werewolf, and after the unfortunate and violent
death of his one contemporary, he is now the last of his
species. Although he is physically healthy, Jake is deeply
distraught and lonely. Jake’s depression has carried him to the point where he is
actually contemplating suicide—even if it means terminating
a legend thousands of years old. It would seem to be easy
enough for him to end everything. But for very different
reasons there are two dangerous groups pursuing him who will
stop at nothing to keep him alive. Here is a powerful, definitive new version of the werewolf
legend—mesmerising and incredibly sexy. In Jake, Glen Duncan
has given us a werewolf for the twenty-first century—a man
whose deeds can only be described as monstrous but who is in
some magical way deeply human. One of the most original, audacious, and terrifying novels
in years.
