Description
A killer stalks the city's streets . . . Only a crazed beast could have committed the grisly murders that are terrorizing the city of Toronto. The victims are usually young women, their bodies found mangled as though torn apart by the fangs of a rabid animal. Yet witnesses swear they have seen the hulking figure of a man nearby. But everyone knows there's no such thing as a werewolf . . . First published in 1980, Wolf Tracks is a page-turning horror thriller by David Case (1937-2018), a show more master of the werewolf tale whom Washington Post critic Michael Dirda named "one of the half-dozen finest living practitioners of the horror story". Two volumes of Case's short fiction and his Egyptian-themed horror novel The Third Grave (1981) are also available from Valancourt. "Let us hear more of David Case . . . The field needs more from the author of 'The Hunter', a modern classic worthy to stand beside 'The Most Dangerous Game'." - Ramsey Campbell show lessTags

This diminutive lycanthropy tale is far too unknown - there are no reviews on LibraryThing and only a couple conversations about it, probably conversations where some of my LT pals recommended the book to me. It's well written, very Dickensian in structure with multiple perspectives from different characters that are extremely well drawn. It's an interesting take on lycanthropy, very psychologically based, while still leaving the resolution ambiguous enough to include the sceptic and the true believer. And from a story-telling perspective, it's quick and rich. As I recently learned from a search, there are far fewer werewolf tales than vampires ones, and this one is absolutely required reading for lycanphiles.
