The Howling

The Howling Trilogy, Book 1

De: Gary Brandner

Narrado por: Stephen Caffrey

An Amazon number-one best-selling horror title

Karyn and her husband Roy had come to the peaceful California village of Drago to escape the savagery of the city. On the surface, Drago appeared to be like most small rural towns. But it was not. The village had a most unsavory history. Unexplained disappearances, sudden deaths. People just vanished, never to be found.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“If you haven’t read Gary Brandner, you’re missing a treat.” (Stephen King)

omg wow 👌

this was sooooooo good. even more creepy than the film. I definitely enjoyed this and will read it again

I love werewolf books

This was so much better than the movie. The fear could be felt as you read.

1/2 better the movie, 1/2 not

Most are already aware that this novel was the inspiration for the movie of the same name. There are similar ideas and plot twists but the story is different enough.

The first half is better than the film in setting up the story. The last half is a little anticlimactic. Interspersed are ideas that did and did not make it to the film. Some of those ideas should have made it.

The narration is choppy at some points with overdubs for some reason. The narrator is decent but not good at generating excitement or suspense.

It was worthy of a listen but don't go in with huge expectations.

A long awaited classic

I read this first when I was 12. I'm 50 now and had been searching for the audio book version for a very long time. The narrator did a very good job and the story satisfied as much as the first time I read it. If you enjoy horror and the werewolf genre in particular this will not disappoint. I hope the sequels will be released as well. I enjoyed the trilogy.

Raunchy Pulp at its Finest

Finally they bring The Howling to Audible!
I've been waiting for this since the 1st generation kindle fore tablet! I've loved this book since the 90s and read it numerous times and to Finally hear it with all its raunchy fun brings a smile to my face. the narration was great EXCEPT FOR THE BEGINNING SEQUENCE! That whole part felt out of place and they should have used the narrator who did the actual story its self. My only other gripe is that the producers for this got the howling 1 and 2 on Audible but NO 3!! please do The Howling 3 do not make us wait years again!

Thrilling

An awesome Werewolf story! Sexual content a bit racy for younger readers, but overall well written and very well acted!

Call Me Impressed

I really wasn’t expecting much, since I had seen the movie as a kid. But, this was much better! I guess it just needed to be read. I liked it a lot!

Classic Horror

Thanks to Encyclopocalypse Publications for rereleasing this classic horror story which was originally published in 1977. I have read and enjoyed other books by Gary Brandner over the years but think THE HOWLING is his best. I had somehow never read this excellent werewolf novel, THE HOWLING. I am thankful that it became available on Audible otherwise I would have never experienced this great story!

Ahead of It's time.

Definitely worth a listen. I have read almost every book out about werewolves and this classic takes the trophy.

An interesting adaptation of a classic film.

This is an enjoyable inspiration of what to me is one of the seminal Werewolf films of all time. While similar in basic plot, this story is its own and still well worth the time taken with it. My only criticism is that it feels very much of its time, the mid 70s, which I found a little distracting.
