Synopsis

The Wolfman is one of the great classics of modern horror. Now, based on the upcoming film, is a terrifying new novel written by Jonathan Maberry, based on the screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker and David Self based on a motion picture screenplay by Curt Siodmak

Lawrence Talbot's childhood ended the night his mother died. After he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying to forget. But when his brother's fiancée tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. He learns that something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and that a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector has come to investigate.

As Talbot pieces together the gory puzzle, he hears of an ancient curse that turns the afflicted into werewolves when the moon is full. Now, if he has any chance at ending the slaughter and protecting the woman he has grown to love, Talbot must destroy the vicious creature that stalks the woods surrounding Blackmoor. But as he hunts for the nightmarish beast, a simple man with a tortured past will uncover a primal side to himself . . . one he never imagined existed.

I am giving the book a rating of 3.5. I can’t help but think maybe I am being a bit too generous. The thing is – The Wolfman is much better than the horror novels that I have read in the recent past.

Normally I'm not a huge fan of movie novelizations, but when I heard that the awesome Jonathan Maberry did the novelization for this movie, I was intrigued.

I didn’t have too many hopes for reading Jonathan Maberry’s novelization of The Wolfman. I had seen the movie a while back and didn’t care for it, not to mention I have never heard of Maberry.

Goodreads review by Q. on April 21, 2020

This novelization is bloody, risque, and dripping in Gothic atmosphere. A tortured protagonist, murder, an isolated rural town, a dysfunctional family, a tragic backstory, an unconventional romance, madness, and monsters (in every sense of the word). Better than the movie.......more
