An ancient race of lycanthropes has survived to the present
day, and its numbers are growing as the initiated convince
L.A.'s down and out to join their pack. Paying no heed to
moons, full or otherwise, they change from human to canine
at will—and they're bent on domination at any cost. Caught in the middle are Anthony, a kind-hearted, besotted
dogcatcher, and the girl he loves, a female werewolf who has
abandoned her pack. Anthony has no idea that she's more than
she seems, and she wants to keep it that way. But her
efforts to protect her secret lead to murderous results. Blending dark humor and epic themes with card-playing dogs,
crystal meth labs, surfing, and carne asada tacos, Sharp
Teeth captures the pace and feel of a graphic novel while
remaining "as ambitious as any literary novel, because
underneath all that fur, it's about identity, community,
love, death, and all the things we want our books to be
about" [Nick Hornby, The Believer].
