Werewolf Novel Recommendations

I enjoyed Gary Brandner's The Howling. It was pretty good, and quite different from the movie.
I have a copy of the sequel novel, The Howling II (not sure if Brandner wrote any more after that), but haven't read it yet.
I also ran through Stephen King's Cycle of the Werewolf one afternoon in a library. Not King's best or worst, didn't have much depth. Apparently what happened was King was commissioned to write a horror story for a calendar, with one chapter for each month. King being King, however, the story was too long to publish in that format, so they published it as a "novella" instead.

I just finished reading Patricia Briggs Moon Called, and although I don't usually read werewolf-books I thought it was good, fast-paced, great characters, maybe a little farfetched sometimes, but hey, we're talking about a werewolves. All in all a good read and I definitely recommend it to anyone who's into this genre.
i can recommend a few. some of them may be hard to find though and you will have to search for them.
1) the hyde effect by steve vance. this is perhaps the best werewolf book i have ever read, but it is rather hard to find.
2)shapes by steve vance. this is a sequel to the hyde effect. i enjoyed it but not as much as the first one.
3)werewolveSS by jerry and sharon ahern. i am reading this now and am almost finished with it. its about hitler experimenting with a werewolf that the nazis captured and using it to create a battalion of werewolves. it takes place after WW2 in present day when the survivors of an allied unit who were attacked by hitlers werewolves discover that they are still around.

I'm about half finished with this novel right now and am really liking it. I've reached the part where Mercy is talking to Bran after taking Adam to her old home. Poor Mac... I was starting to like him and then that had to happen to him.pink shadow said:
On a related note, I was browsing the homepage of Dorchester Publications (home of Brian Keene 
) and came across this page about a featured new werewolf novel:

Sounds interesting.

I would try reading Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause. I am right now, and I can't put it down!

The author is Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, and she writes novels about vampires and more recently shapeshifters. They all are very good and I recommend them all.
Vampires
In the Forests of the Night
Demon in my View
Shattered Mirror
Midnight Predator
Shapeshifters
Hawksong
Snakecharm
Falcondance
Her first series was the vampire novels and you can see that her style was still forming, but they are really good all the same. Enjoy!
Note to Valkyrie. READ THEM! JOIN MELISSA, MADDIE, AMY, AND ME!

Thanks again for tips! I've come across Gagliani's book before, and now it seems it's coming out in paperback, so I'll keep my eyes open. I'm putting the other ones on my list as well (am checking up on the Atwater-Rhodes bandwagon 
), but as always, there's the issue of finding the things... I am, however, quickly approaching Wolves of the Calla on my quest for The Dark Tower

Time to bump an old thread. Some of these will be repeats since I was about to start a new thread on this but thought I better search first .
Armstrong, Kelly; Otherworld Series
I've only read the first two so far but they aren't bad. Not strictly a werewolf series.
Borchardt, Alice; The Silver Wolf series
First book is a bit weird but pretty good series overall.
Boyd, Donna; The Passion series
Bit on the romancy side and the werewolves are uppity but not bad. Been waiting for the 3rd book for years.
Hamilton, Laurell; The Anita Blake series
Have a bit of everything supernatural out there in them including were everything. Entertaining trash up to about book eight when it turns into hardcore porn.
Cadnum, Michael; Saint Peter's Wolf
One of my favorites but its been awhile since I read it.
Collins, Nancy A; Wild Blood
This one is more of a violent blood thirsty type of werewolf book but it still isn't bad.
Danvers, Dennis; Wilderness
Another romacy one but its not heavy on it. Not a bad read.
Disilvestro, Roger; Ursula's Gift
This one is another one of my favorites. Its written as a comedy and isn't very serious so if you aren't into that skip it.
Klause, Annette; Blood and Chocolate
Another one of the few really good ones. Has a movie based on it coming out soon that will probably be horrible.
McCammon, Robert; The Wolf's Hour
My #1 favorite so far. The plot sounds ridiculous if you look it up but its a really good story.
Somtow, S. P.; Moon Dance
Another weird one but it is still a good story.
Strieber, Whitley; The Wild and The Wolfen
Not really werewolves but close enough. The Wild is about some guy that turns into a wolf and is stuck that way while The Wolfen is about some smart wolf like critters eating people in NY. Both good stories.
I've read a bunch of others but those are some of the better ones IMO. Reading Charles De Lint's Wolf Moon now and its just okay so far.

It's sitting on my shelf unread at the moment but there's a novel by a new author called Kit Whitfield available at the moment. It's called Bareback (or Benighted in the US) and features werewolves. Lots of them.
The author is a graduate of the East Anglia University Creative Writing course which has, in the past, given us Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro, Tash Aw, and Tracy Chevalier, to name a few.

Hi,
If you are looking for werewolf books. My favourite new author is Keri Arthur. She is totally awesome.
Her books are about a female werewolf who is actually half vampire as well.
You will need to read them in order: Full Moon Rising, Kissing Sin, Tempting Evil, Dangerous Games, Embraced by Darkness.
I definately recomend her if you like werewolf books.
Regards

I didn't see a mention of Gillian Bradshaw's novel form of the 12th century Lai de Bisclavret titled The Wolf Hunt, but I really enjoyed it and plan to read it again soon. It is paranormal historical fiction and a well-told medieval tale.
I've read Operation Chaos by Poul Anderson at least three times and will certainly read it again since it seems to be part of my permanent library at this point!
Also, McCammon's Wolf's Hour is really one of the finest werewolf novels to date - thanks to all who have already recommended it.
