About the Book

Set. in the modern-day, Wil is a werewolf. I know utter trope, but a different utter trope. The book is from his point of view, and he is an evil psychotic murdering killer who is not a guilt-torn, suffering individual. No, he loves being a monster and definitely has nothing to do with sparkly vampires.

This book is not for the faint of heart or the fragile of emotion. This is a brain-crushing, soul-wrenching, body-squirming, emotional wrecking depiction of what an amoral, primal, soul-less, unethical, unprincipled, unscrupulous, savage being does when it lives amongst humanity.

Wil is captured during a holiday in a warzone by the British Army.  They lock him up and interview him with the hope of getting him to work for them. This feeds his ego well, and he regales them with his past and how he became a werewolf. During this debrief, we learn of Fen, his Werewolf soul. How they met, and the bond that they have. Oh, and some of the murders and killing the duo have done.

We then see him given an opportunity to work for the service and go through his basic training. Wil finds he enjoys the job, and we see how much he loves being a sanctioned psycho.

He has a handler he only knows as the Chief, who did his initial debriefing and tries to limit the collateral damage to Wil’s jobs. Usually unsuccessfully.

Review

The Werewolf’s Story is a horror novel.  Taking place in modern day, in a variety of locations, the story follows Wil D. Beeste.  Whether or not this is his real name is up for debate.  The book is told from Wil’s perspective as he shares his life story.  Wil is a werewolf who gets captured by the British army and forced to serve with them.  The timeline seems to switch around ;covering his time working for the British army and possibly events from before and after his capture.  He shares the details of his many hunts and killings over the years.

The Werewolf’s Story is rather unique.  It is a novel written in the form of a biography.  Wil is an unrepentant monster in every sense of the word.  He is a murderous psychopath who enjoys what he does and loves being a werewolf.  He loves to psychologically torment his victims before dispatching them in the most brutal way possible.  Wil’s handler, The Chief, is a mysterious character.  Even Wil knows very little about him except that he must report to him.  

The Werewolf’s Story is an engaging story, but it is not for everyone.  It is quite violent and the kills are described in gory detail.  If you don’t mind the graphic nature of the book, you’ll likely enjoy it.  Fans of old school monstrous werewolf stories will certainly like it.

About the Author

Fenrir has a love of philosophy, psychology and Stoic ideals. He believes that all people can improve themselves through dedication. Hard work and learning about oneself can lead you to your goals and happiness. His Non-fiction books help promote these ideals.

He also has two titles based on his education experience. He is hoping to help the overworked teachers of the world and has been one.

He has also recently released his first Novel playing with the psychology of a psychotic character—a psychotic character who also happens to be a Werewolf. He was not forced to write a biography for a real werewolf. That would be a nonsensical notion.

Since his late teenage years he is proud that he had managed to maintain his height at a constant five feet ten inches. If only everything in life were that simple. He currently works as a veterinary surgeon in Plymouth, UK, and doesn’t think the job is all that bad really. On his days off he spends his time being cruel to pot plants, drinking cups of tea and, occasionally, writing.
