Book details

Book description

There's a razor-thin line between adoration and hatred in Philip Caveney's haunting thriller. Mark Tyler is a bestselling horror writer, and countless readers are awaiting his next novel featuring Black Wolf. When Mark receives a note from an American fan, he unwisely writes straight back. But his friendly gesture provokes a deluge of increasingly strange letters. Clearly the man is an obsessive who identifies much too closely with the novel's violent supernatural hero. Distracted by personal problems, Mark fails to notice the mounting psychosis of his 'number one' fan. He cannot know that a small US town is already terrorised by a spate of bizarre deaths dubbed 'the wolfman murders'. Nor can he predict that London will soon suffer its own sequence of grisly killings. Will the author fall prey to a monster of his own creation? Philip Caveney was born in North Wales in 1951. The son of an RAF officer, he spent much of his childhood travelling the length and breadth of Britain and spent several years in Malaysia and Singapore. His first novel, The Sins of Rachel Ellis, was published in 1977. Since then, he has published many novels (or 'head movies' as he prefers to call them) and a series of children's books that have sold all over the world. He lives in Heaton Moor, Stockport and is currently working on his next book.
