Talulla Rising (The Last Werewolf 2) by Glen Duncan
TALULLA DEMETRIOU, YOU HAVE BEEN A VERY . . . BAD . . . GIRL Talulla Demetriou is the last living werewolf. Now she is pregnant. Pursued by enemies and racked by the need to kill, she flees to an Alaskan hunting lodge to have her child in secret. There, with her infant son in her arms, it looks as if the worst is over. Until the door bursts open - and she discovers that the worst is only just beginning . . .
Sexy, funny, blisteringly intelligent* * The Times * *
Like an updated version of Dracula, only for werewolves, and as rewritten by Bret Easton Ellis. * * Guardian * *
Glorious -- Justin Cronin, author of The Passage * * New York Times * *
A magnificent novel. A brutal, indignant, lunatic howl. A sexy, blood-spattered page-turner, beautifully crafted and full of genuine suspense, that tears the thorax out of the horror genre. -- Nick Cave
Loaded with beautifully constructed lunatic ravings . . . A sublime study in literary elegance. It is bloody (and) brilliant. * * Independent on Sunday * *
A brilliantly original thriller, a love story, a witty treatise on male (and female) urges, even an existential musing on what it is to be human. * * Word Magazine * *

I could say that The Last Werewolf is smart, thrilling, funny, moving, beautifully written, and a joy to read, and this would all be true. But it would also be a woeful understatement of what Glen Duncan has accomplished with his extraordinary novel. The only useful thing I can offer you is a simple admonishment. Stop reading my words, and start reading his. Trust me: you'll be happy you did. -- Scott Smith, author of A SIMPLE PLAN and THE RUINS
The Last Werewolf is written with such scandalous ferocity and such grizzly humour it feels like the literary equivalent of howling at the moon. Not since Lon Chaney and John Landis has lycanthropy been such a blast, and Glen Duncan offers more danger, gristle and lunatic brilliance per sentence than any writer I can think of. -- Matt Haig
Absolutely brilliant. A surreal, dark and unsettling tale that really did put the bite back into the supernatural. In short, I got a real kick out of it. -- Russel McLean
Remarkable for its humour, eloquence and self-aware intelligence. A deeply human narrative about the nature of story itself. -- Stella Duffy
