A serial rapist is on the loose in the sleepy California town of Big Rock, and sheriff Farrell Hurley's secretary is the latest victim. When a self-proclaimed werewolf hunter named Daniel Fargo comes into town claiming that Big Rock has an infestation of the creatures, Hurley thinks the man is insane, until the eviscerated corpses and attacks by large animals start in earnest. For Garton, lycanthropy is an STD, spread mostly through rape, that runs rampant through a small town fraught with affairs and intrigues. His werewolf is a terrifying creature: not a remorseful, helpless cursed human but a homicidal beast driven by a dual urge to breed and feed. Hurley is a sheriff to root for, and Garton's well-paced horror novel reworks the werewolf myth to great effect.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! I have a couple of Ray Garton's vampire book on my TBR shelf. One of them has the scariest cover I have ever seen on a book. I did not know that he had a were book as well, but am very excited to get it. Thanks so much Brat!!!!
Ravenous by Ray Garton
rating: 5 of 5 stars
Great read. It is really nice to read a werewolf book that is not a romance, but classic horror.
I really enjoy Garton's writing and his take on the supernatural. Highly recommend this to horror fans.
Looking forward to reading the sequel 'Bestial'.

Thank you so much! I am looking forward to trying something new!
The characters are well described with background and family stories etc. The werewolves are wonderfully terrible. Unbearably captivating novel!
