Return of the Wolf Man

Even a man who�s pure at heart And says his prayers by night, May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms And the autumn moon is bright . . . The sleepy town of LaMirada is full of stories. Stories of a string of gruesome murders left unsolved fifty years ago. Of a terrifying beast-man lurking in the shadows at the scene of the attacks. And of the strange castle on the edge of the ocean, where the nightmare came to an end. Now a new heir, Caroline Cooke, has come to the dark castle called the Tombs. And once again the little town is haunted by brutal murder, strange tales, and the mournful howls of an unknown creature. Some say he is crying out for the human blood on which he must feed. But others say that he is crying for release from his tormented form�release that only the lovely new occupant of the castle can give him . . . Picking up directly from the end of the last of the Universal Classics Horror films, Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein (the last until the Creature From the Black Lagoon, that is), Mr. Rovin weaves nostalgia, horror, deft writing and an obvious love of the genre into a first rate story that could have and should have been used as a reintroduction of the classic monsters to a new generation. Using Frankensteins Monster, Dracula and, of course, the Wolf Man this is written as a fitting tribute to some classic films while being a first rate monster book in it's own right. A new heir, Caroline Cooke, has come to the dark castle called the Tombs. And once again the little town of LaMirada is haunted by brutal murder, strange tales, and the mournful howls of an unknown creature. Some say he is crying out for the human blood on which he must feed. But others say he is crying for release from his tormented form--release that only the lovely new occupant of the castle can give him... Inheriting the dark castle known as Tombs, Caroline Cooke discovers the truth behind disturbing tales that overshadow its surrounding town, from unsolved murders to the appearance of a shadowy beast-man who appears at the scene of the attacks.
