This is honestly exactly what I was expecting it to be. That being said, it is definitely one of the better werewolf short stories I've read. It's engaging, yet not too far off the norm. It's a short read - about 19 pages in the epub version, and yet the entire story is developed. I'm really looking forward to more from Grant Palmquist. ( )

Three boys decide to hunt a killer that may be a werewolf. What could go wrong?

Filled with humor, action, and a touch of horror, this delightfully detailed short story takes the reader through the narrator's adventure.

The characters are authentic for their reality, flawed, and funny.

Overall, a fun read. ( )

This short teen horror story taking place in Texas revolves around three teenage boys who discover a decomposed body that was once a gigantic werewolf. The story is told by one of them in retrospect which tells us right from the start that whatever happened did not kill the narrator. ...

There have been a string of violent murders that happen on full moons, in Trident Texas. Around this time, Zane discovers a decomposing body with un-human like features. What is this creature, is it human or have they discovered something that will go down in history books? They don't even get a chance to decide what to do with their discovery, when the body suddenly goes missing.

The next full moon, the boys go hunting for any strange creatures, or possibly even the murder. Who knows they might just be the same thing. One of the boys goes missing during the hunt. Did the creature get him?

A quick, fun and heart pumping read. I enjoyed the short read and hope there is more to come with this story. It has great potential to become a really great novel. I plan on following Grant's work, and start reading his other books. A great rating of 5/5 in my opinion. ( )

Solid short story with a nice twist at the end. Story is about three young men that get in over their heads when they decide to see what has been attacking the local citzens.

The story was too short for me as well. Hopefuuly Grant will write some more about the "isolated howl". ( )
