Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK - Glen Duncan delivers a powerful, sexy new version of the werewolf legend.

"Muscular and breathtaking. . . . When you finish reading this novel, you're going to feel full. But it's a good feeling of fullness, just as Jacob feels after one of his moonlight rampages." --Los Angeles Times

"A dark thriller. . . . Duncan has finally driven a stake through vampire supremacy." --The Washington Post

Forty years ago I killed and ate Grainer's father. Grainer was ten at the time. There's always someone's father, someone's mother, someone's wife, someone's son. This is the problem with killing and eating people. One of the problems.

Jake Marlowe is the last werewolf. Now just over 200 years old, Jake has an insatiable appreciation for good scotch, books, and the pleasures of the flesh, with a voracious libido and a hunger for meat that drives him crazy each full moon. Although he is physically healthy, Jake has slipped into a deep existential crisis, considering taking his own life and ending a legend that has lived for thousands of years. But there are two dangerous groups--one new, one ancient--with reasons of their own for wanting Jake very much alive.

Riveting, dark, and ferocious, The Last Werewolf is a supernatural thriller that is otherworldly in its brilliance but profoundly human in its heart.
