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!

  

Poe Little Me

This survey of American horror master Edgar Allan Poe appeared in the September 1, 1986 issue of Amazing Heroes.

See you on Friday, fellow fright mavens, for another scary book!
