Then she opened her mouth to scream-and recognised me. It was what I'd been waiting for. She froze. She looked into my eyes. She said, "It's you."

Meet Jake. A bit on the elderly side (he turns 201 in March), but you'd never suspect it. Nonstop sex and exercise will do that for you-and a diet with lots of animal protein. Jake is a werewolf, and after the unfortunate and violent death of his one contemporary, he is now the last of his species. Although he is physically healthy, Jake is deeply distraught and lonely.

Jake's depression has carried him to the point where he is actually contemplating suicide-even if it means terminating a legend thousands of years old. It would seem to be easy enough for him to end everything. But for very different reasons there are two dangerous groups pursuing him who will stop at nothing to keep him alive.

Here is a powerful, definitive new version of the werewolf legend-mesmerising and incredibly sexy. In Jake, Glen Duncan has given us a werewolf for the twenty-first century-a man whose deeds can only be described as monstrous but who is in some magical way deeply human.

One of the most original, audacious, and terrifying novels in years.

Industry Reviews

"Glorious . . . I can't help thinking that wry, world-weary Jake Marlowe would make a fabulous dinner companion. Just not during a full moon."--Justin Cronin, "The New York Times Book Review" "Duncan has finally driven a stake through vampire supremacy . . . Cerebral and campy, philosophical and ironic, "The Last Werewolf" is a novel that's always licking its bloody lips and winking at us . . . A dark thriller that explodes with enough conspiracies, subterfuges and murders to raise your hackles. Not to mention such hot werewolf sex that you'll be tempted to wander out under the full moon yourself next month." --Ron Charles, "The Washington Post"" ""A shocking new take on the werewolf legend . . . Intelligent, fast-moving, creative, and thrilling."--"The Daily Beast"" ""A clever narrative with a memorable antihero at its feral, furry heart."--Thom Geier, "Entertainment Weekly" "Quirky and brilliant--and definitely not for kids."--"Kirkus Reviews" "Savvy and exceptionally literate, this is one smart modern werewolf tale. . . [A] fine supernatural thriller."--"Publishers Weekly" ""The Last Werewolf" is like an updated version of "Dracula," only for werewolves, and as rewritten by Bret Easton Ellis . . . In its own blood-crazed and sex-dazed way, "The Last Werewolf" makes the case for literature."--Stephen Poole, "The Guardian" (UK) "Sexy, funny, blisteringly intelligent . . . Duncan is the cleverest literary horror merchant since Bram Stoker."--Kate Saunders, "The Times" (London) "Okay, no hyperbole, just an admission: I loved this novel. It's a howl, a rager, a scream. May The Last Werewolf put a stake through the heart of humorless, overwrought vampire sagas. Two big thumb-claws up!"--Chris Bohjalian, author of "Secrets of Eden," "The Double Bind," and "Midwives" "A brilliantly original thriller, a love story, a witty treatise on male (and female) urges, eve
