Ray Garton

Bestial Ray Garton

Publisher Marketing: "Something dark and sinister is spreading through the California town of Big Rock. Something more brutal and animalistic than normally lurks in the shadows of our daily lives. And its numbers are growing exponentially. Werewolves have arrived like an epidemic. This time, though, the outbreak is careful, planned by the hungry monsters themselves. The werewolves have dug their claws in deep and continue to grow ever more powerful. As the infection transfers through grisly violence and horrific sex, the entire town transforms into either starved predator or terrified prey. This time, there is no escape. Can the remaining band of humans fight back? Are there enough left to stop the trail of terror? Were there ever enough? This gut wrenching follow up to Ravenous by Grand Master of Horror Ray Garton will have you too scared to turn the page . . . or too scared to stop, if only to seek refuge in its shocking end. Garton has a flair for taking veteran horror themes and twisting them to evocative or entertaining effect.
