Feral

A Novel of Werewolf Horror

De: Matt Serafini

Narrado por: Matt Godfrey

There’s a thin line between animal and man. A line that’s about to be crossed.

Jack and Allen need a break. They’ve decided to spend the summer before their senior year of college out in Western Massachusetts. But their quest for rest and relaxation comes to an end when they arrive in Greifsfield, MA. Their friendship is tested by a mysterious beauty and her razor-sharp smile, then broken when they’re caught up in a rash of mysterious disappearances.

How will these two friends cope with the truth behind a town that craves raw meat? And how will they survive beneath the glow of the full moon?

Werewolves are real, and there’s no such thing as escape. This vacation’s about to get a little hairy.

The Howling meets 30 Days of Night in this furious lightning blast of a novel.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Never has a book’s title been more appropriate. Feral is all gnashing teeth and animal stink. It is just what your veterinarian ordered if you caught fleas from the litany of bad, toothless werewolf books on the market.” (Adam Cesare, author of Video Night and The Con Season)

“An ambitious, balls-to-the-wall werewolf extravaganza. You can feel the lifetime of passion for horror in every paragraph.” (Horror Drive-In)

Savage

Definitely not the type of werewolf book I usually listen to. Not a hot alpha male looking for his mate kind of book. It’s a good old fashion werewolf horror story. There was a very small part I thought was slow but everything came together. The sex scenes were not romantic and sweet but matched the type of story. It’s not a book about angels so what do you expect. Narrator was good. Some of the accents were meh. This is a fun horror story. I didn’t pay for the audiobook, but I would not regret using a credit. Worth it. Starting book 2.

I was given this free audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Definitely horror movie quality story

Jack, Allan, Molly and Lucy spend their college Summer up at Lucy's father's vacation resort in Greifsfield, MA. Allan falls for the town tramp, Elizabeth - a mysterious oversexed sultress known for rousing the affections of married men in town. Molly, having recently been dumped by Allan, can't get over the breakup and makes a fool of herself and leaves herself vulnerable to the evil doings of the town. A werewolf cult is about to unleash its fury on the town of residents and tourists and the group get mixed up into this horrible series of events. Jack joins ranks with a werewolf hunter, Amanda Church, come to town seeking to destroy the beastly threat. Jack is clumsy and while filled with great intentions, he's naive and makes a lot of blunders endangering himself and Amanda.

This is a fairly long tale for this genre but it seems to flow decently. While I'm not opposed to necessary sex and violence to color a story, the over the top sex and orgy scenes feel a bit too much to me. A little gratuitous. It directly reminded me of scenes from the vampire series on HBO, True Blood. Orgies in the woods. It felt a little too borrowed but I could be wrong. Another big influence I felt was Quentin Tarantino's From Dusk Til Dawn. Another vampire movie but similar in feel and mood.

The story takes some subplot detours spotlighting Lucy's father Roy's sick sexual appetites and Allan's feral dreamscapes. The dream states feel disjointed and hard to follow but I think that's the point, as dreams are often confusing like that.

You're made to feel for Elizabeth to some degree but also you're inherently on the side of Jack and Amanda in their efforts to destroy these beasts.

If you like horror, werewolves, blood, guts, gore and sex for that whole-package shock value, then this is the story for you. The narrator did a fine job with the voices and conveying the events in the heightened parts of the story.

Werewolf smutt

If you ever wanted a werewolf actoin smutt novel with the feel of a bad mobster story and the cast from a new Jersey Shores, this is for you.

GREAT STORY!!!

At first, I thought the story started off a tad bit slow but as I pressed on, I found myself more intrigued with Elisabeth as a character. She was cold as hell but I couldn't help but like her. I really enjoyed this story and I will be listening to the second Feral book.

Good

Extremely beautiful work and great execution by both of them and caricatures of the story
