Review: Moonstruck by Graeme Reynolds

Graeme Reynold's High Moor was a bloody werewolf horror story, where the horror was mostly based on gruesome descriptions of werewolves killing and devouring children.

The second part of the trilogy continues directly from where the first one left off. The Pack works hard to hide the existence of the werewolves from humans, but that fight is proving more and more futile as the story continues.

Review: High Moor by Graeme Reynolds

Graeme Reynold's High Moor was a surprise addition to my werewolf reading list and I'm happy for it. The author manages to combine old werewolf horror movie themes with some more modern ideas. On the one hand, there are utterly savage and bloodthirsty werewolves who kill whoever they can when the full moon comes. These are called "the moonstruck", werewolves who are bestial animals taking over their human host bodies. Then there are the "Packs" that teach people to accept their werewolf selves and learn to live with them - allowing them to turn at will and not lose themselves while they are in their werewolf form.
