The Wolfman — Jonathan Maberry

DOOMED BY DESTINY

Lawrence Talbot's childhood ended the night his mother died. After he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying to forget. But when his brother's fiancee begs him to help find her missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. Something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector has come to investigate.

As Talbot pieces together the gory puzzle, he hears of an ancient curse that turns the afflicted into werewolves when the moon is full. Now, if he is to end the slaughter and protect the woman he has grown to love, Talbot must destroy the vicious creature that stalks the woods surrounding Blackmoor. But when he himself is bitten by the beast, he is torn between his love who desperately tries to save him and coping with the horror of what he has become.
