"twisty. spooky. shocking."
—TED TALLY, Academy Award-Winning Screenwriter of
The Silence of the Lambs
Seven years after Brady's father was killed in a tragic hunting accident, he just wants to get far away from his broken home life with a rebellious twin sister, absentee mother and creep of a stepfather.
​
But a dark secret and impulsive decision will set off a horrific chain of events.
​
Deep in the woods behind Brady’s house sits a cave. Inside lurks something vicious. A creature that isn’t supposed to exist. When Brady discovers the beast’s true nature, he sees an opportunity and strikes a Faustian bargain to exact overdue revenge.
​
ONE KILL IN EXCHANGE FOR FREEDOM.
Setting his bloody plan in motion, Brady will learn that a beast cannot be caged. It will rip apart anything in its path.
​
Brady didn't believe in monsters. But he does now.
​YOU WILL TOO.
"uplifts the werewolf lore."

DAVID SWORE TO SAVE LIVES. ​The noble physician has it all. A fulfilling career, a beautiful wife and his first child on the way. He has everything to live for until one night shift threatens the future he worked so hard to build.
​
A dying man is rushed into the ER with a gunshot wound and something in his blood that defies diagnosis. David fights to save him, but fails, earning a bite on his hand in the process. He thinks it a flesh wound, but he’s wrong. ​DEAD WRONG.
​
A change is happening inside David. Something unexplainable is making him stronger. Angrier. Hungrier. Desperate for answers, a stranger approaches, telling David he knows what afflicts him. A condition where the only cure is fatal.
​
As the full moon rises, David’s humanity will slip away, leaving him with an impossible choice. One that will tear apart everything he loves.
​
David swore to save lives.
​THE WOLF WILL DEVOUR THEM.
​
Before the horror of My Pet Werewolf, a beast is born. And blood will spill.
"tells this tragic story beautifully."
