The Howling II

The Howling Trilogy, Book 2

By: Gary Brandner

Narrated by: Stephen Caffrey

For Karyn, it was the howling. The howling that had heralded the nightmare in Drago, the nightmare that had joined her husband Roy to the she-wolf Marcia and should have ended forever with the fire. But it hadn’t. Roy and Marcia were still alive, deadly, and thirsty for the most horrifying vengeance imaginable.

Critic reviews

“If you haven’t read Gary Brandner, you’re missing a treat.” (Stephen King)

Not bad, good story

I hope there is a third book as I would like to know how the rest turns out. What happens when they return to their families and if there are any other wolf’s left that will haunt them. Very well told story worth the credit.

the details

I loved the entire book start to finish
it was thrilling and scary and unsettling

the connection

I didn't like how easily Chris was convinced to go to the cabin knowing that would be highly questionable.

Doesn't hold up to the original

It just doesn't have the same spooky factor as the original. It's as if Brandner was under pressure to produce a sequel and struggled for material. This one reads more like a tragic love story than a horror novel. Stephen Caffrey's narration is second to none as always.
