Woof Woof!

 Scary Books, Kiddies!

The Wolfen.  By Whitley Strieber.  Bantam Books, 1979. Copyright 1978.

This, Strieber’s first novel, made a splash.

The paperback had a die-cut front cover, and above is the inside front cover.

You tell me if the horror is inescapable or not. Like a lot of Strieber’s fiction, there’s a basic odd premise which he follows to a creepy or disgusting end.

My bookmark for this paperback is a copy of its hardback listing in Publisher’s Weekly, July 3, 1978.

If you think about this premise, it’s a sad thought to think of human-level intelligences (the title critters) locked into bloodthirsty, predatory behavior. Talk about a cursed existence! As the book ends, their secret is out.

See you on Monday, kiddies!
