Talulla Rising (The Last Werewolf 2) cover

'Duncan is the cleverest literary horror merchant since Bram Stoker' The Times

Monster. Murderer. Mother-to-be.

After the death of her lover Jake, Talulla Demetriou finds herself to be the last living werewolf. Pregnant, grieving and on the run, she flees to an Alaskan hunting lodge to have her child in secret and keep the bloodline alive. It looks as if the worst is over. Until the door bursts open - and she discovers that the worst has only just begun . . .

Wickedly entertaining * * The Times * *
The horror genre at its best - wildly imaginative * * The Times * *
Best described as a gleeful three-way between Raymond Chandler's entire oeuvre, Anne Rice's vampire novels and Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum . . . A high-calorie blast * * New York Times * *
Sexy, funny, blisteringly intelligent. * * The Times * *
A rip-roaring narrative of jet-set travel, transgressive sex, secret societies, vampires, mercenaries, familiars and silver bullets * * SFX Magazine * *

Praise for The Last Werewolf:

Like an updated version of Dracula, only for werewolves, and as rewritten by Bret Easton Ellis.

* * Guardian * *
Glorious -- Justin Cronin, author of The Passage * * New York Times * *
A magnificent novel. A brutal, indignant, lunatic howl. A sexy, blood-spattered page-turner, beautifully crafted and full of genuine suspense, that tears the thorax out of the horror genre. -- Nick Cave
Loaded with beautifully constructed lunatic ravings . . . A sublime study in literary elegance. It is bloody (and) brilliant. * * Independent on Sunday * *
A brilliantly original thriller, a love story, a witty treatise on male (and female) urges, even an existential musing on what it is to be human. * * Word Magazine * *
