One fabulous piece of storytelling set loose last year—British writer Glen Duncan's riveting The Last Werewolf (new in paper, Vintage)—gets an airing here this evening, along with the much-anticipated of its sequel volume, Talulla Rising (Knopf)—which will have released only the day before. As those who read The Last Werewolf know, it is the story of Jake Marlowe, the 'last werewolf,' having something of a rough patch—not that anyone aged 200 wouldn't be missing a beat or two. Talulla Rising becomes the story of Jake's lover Talulla Demetriou. And what a story ... "Duncan has finally driven a stake through vampire supremacy ... Cerebral and campy, philosophical and ironic ... a novel that's always licking its bloody lips and winking at us." – The Washington Post on The Last Werewolf.
