Blood and Rain by Glenn Rolfe5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() While Joe is mentioned in the back cover synopsis, giving me the impression that he’s going to be the action hero kicking wolf rear ends here, the truth is this is more of an ensemble story. Unfortunately, this is one story that could have shaved off a hundred or so pages and may come out better for it. He doesn’t delve too deeply into the characters’ heads here, but that’s okay, he knows how to make a scene move, which is good. Well, the good stuff first: the author has a breezy, atmospheric writing style. However, Sheriff Joe Fischer takes forever to accept that there is a werewolf in town, and by that time, the body count has gone up so high, it’s pretty hilarious. Since the brutal killings take place during the full moon, some people believe that a werewolf, or some other monster that is under the influence of the moon, is behind the atrocities. Basically, a beast is terrorizing Gilson Creek, a town in Maine. Author Glenn Rolfe has a simple story here. Samhain Publishing, $5.50, ISBN 978-1-61922-909-9īlood and Rain, as you can most likely tell from the cover, is a werewolf story. ![]()
