This is not your sparkly and romantic lycanthrope, but instead a very different take on the usual werewolf story. The main character was a Vietnam vet who was destined to carry on the family werewolf curse and compelled to kill every full moon. He struggled constantly with his guilt over killing innocents, but came up with a way to try and deal with it, and be of some benefit to mankind. He was surly and antisocial, but oddly likeable. There will be no sequels, as the author was killed in the line of duty while serving as a NYPD Auxiliary Police Officer. This was his first published book. What a tragedy.
