Book Description
From Ovid’s Lycaon to Professor Lupin, from Teen Wolf to An American Werewolf in Paris, the lycanthrope, or werewolf, comes to us frequently on the page and the silver screen. These interpretations often display lycanthropy as a curse, with the afflicted person becoming an uncontrollable, feral beast during every full moon. But this is just one version of the werewolf—its origins can be traced back thousands of years to early prehistory, and everything from Iron Age bog bodies and Roman gods to people such as Joan of Arc, Adolf Hitler, and Sigmund Freud feature in its story. Exploring the role of this odd assortment of ideas and people in the myth, The White Devil tracks the development of the werewolf from its birth to the present day, seeking to understand why the wolf curse continues to hold a firm grip on the modern imagination. Combining early death and burial rites, mythology, folklore, archaeological evidence, and local superstitions, Matthew Beresford explains that the werewolf has long been present in the beliefs and mythology of the many cultures of Europe. He examines prehistoric wolf cults, the use of the wolf as a symbol of ancient Rome, medieval werewolf executions, and the eradication of wolves by authorities in England during the Anglo-Saxon period. He also surveys werewolf trials, medical explanations, and alleged sightings, as well as the instances in which lycanthropes appear in literature and film. With sixty illustrations of these often terrifying—but sometimes noble—beasts, The White Deviloffers a new understanding of the survival of the werewolf in European culture.

Book Description
"Brian Ference writes a thrilling creature tale... With lots of action, gore and plot twists that will keep you guessing throughout. Praise for Lupari Werewolf Hunter. Highly recommended!" - Chris Turner, author of Denibus Ar and many other fantasy, adventure, and science fiction novels. "If you are a fan of werewolf fiction, this series is a must-read. Ference's writing and ability to spin a powerful tale is top notch." - Nickel Crow, author of Master of the Hunt "The visceral action scenes Ference writes will leave your heart pounding" - Toneye Eyenot, author of Blood Moon Big Top and Wolvz: Whispers of War Sage Holdsworth is a gifted painter with a terrible secret. One thing Sage cannot conceal is her infatuation with the handsome and charismatic Dorian Gray. Sage creates a lifelike painting of Dorian and a small wolf pup, but there is more to the painting than meets the eye. As Dorian unlocks his inherent darkness, a werewolf is spawned that begins killing in the streets of London. The lycanthrope turns to killing Dorian's enemies, but who is the real monster here? Sage never imagined her passion would give birth to a vicious monster that could cost her everything. Can Dorian and Sage save their souls? Or will the beast consume them all? This is the first book in The Wolf of Dorian Gray series: A Werewolf Spawned by the Evil of Man (Book 1) Purgatoryof the Werewolf (Book 2) Lupări: Werewolf Hunter (Book 3) "Rarely does romance and revenge intersect so pleasurably and delicately, forming a dance of passion and purpose that embraces a soul search and a confrontation between choices of salvation and sin." - Midwest Book Review "A delectable page turner. An excellent debut by Brian Ference. Full of excitement, anticipation, and rich scenery." - Pavan ★★★★★ "It has something for everyone with action, romance, and mystery." - Rachel ★★★★★ "Ference's debut puts a twist on Oscar Wilde's classic The Portrait of Dorian Gray, adding the dimension of a wild beast. The arrangement smoothly parallels the original...Victorian gentleman Dorian remains stunningly handsome after his youthful self is captured by an exceptionally talented artist in an eerily powerful painting. However, Dorian is not alone in this portrait; also depicted is a wolf cub, and after the painting is hidden away, the wolf is the one to change. A element of intense violence is added to this version, and there are some gender swaps, but the plot of a young man led astray into lusty debauchery remains the same. Passions and betrayals abound. Ference lifts some lines from Wilde's text and adds his own gift for description: 'Flowers, bright in sapphire blue and crimson reds, sang out from every corner of the ornately decorated room.'" - Publishers Weekly "There on my desk is the first passionate love-letter which I have ever composed in my life--and it is addressed to a dead girl." "The wolf had begun hunting human prey. They were plentiful in the dark city streets and provided enough good meat to satiate his gnawing hunger. He was still very careful not to let any who saw him live. To do otherwise would displease the Master. He would only stalk those people that were foolish enough to walk alone in the night." "The engorged moon hung full and low in the sky like a yellow skull. Misshapen clouds stretched across the floating orb with elongated hands and bony fingers grasping. As they neared the docks, the gas lamps grew fewer and the streets gloomier. The cobblestones blackened as they passed the deserted brickfields. Bottle-shaped kilns spat their outrage with orange tongues of fire into the cooling air. Mangy dogs snarled in hunger and wandering sea-gulls screamed their displeasure at the hansom's passage."

Book Description
In the dense woodland and harsh humidity of the Georgia/Florida border, a ruthless, and idyllic, Captain attempts to right his old wrongs and heal festering wounds to sustain his own lawfully rigid empire in this coastal wasteland. Helping him enforce his power are his two protégés, Cliff Ramos and Cooper Cornelius Happenstance, known better as Coop. Ramos is a young and brilliant detective, orphaned at an early age, and has always felt apart from the norm of humanity. He is being mentored by the older, and very animalistic Coop whose instincts are never in question. Both men have a unique ability to find, and create trouble, and are in a constant battle with themselves to either accept the demonic urges inside them or to rise up against that part of themselves and embrace their humanity....or is there a way to do both? This tale unfolds to hilarious, dark, and violent chapters of human greed, animal desires, and other worldly phenomenon, as Ramos, Cooper, and the Captain work to maintain power over their sanity and reality. When Coop's daughter, Sam, begins to have people die around her, both men are directed to investigate. Ramos and the girl are fallen lovers from high school, and he is vying to get her back. Coop cares for nothing since his wife died, except to protect Sam from any harm. Who is committing these random acts of murder? Is it Boogy, Sam's estranged eco-terrorist husband and father to her child? Is it the crime syndicate of The Viking, striking back at Coop for destroying their local operations years ago after they had brutally murdered his wife? Or does the trail lead closer to home, possibly implicating Sam, or even Ramos and Coop?
