The Howling
Gary Brandner · 3 novels · 1977–1985
The Howling, Gary Brandner's 1977 novel, sets a woman recovering from trauma against a small California town that turns out to be sheltering a colony of werewolves. Brandner wrote two further novels under the same title banner, The Howling II and The Howling III, but by the author's own account they're only loosely connected sequels rather than a continuous story, and neither maps onto the better-known film series the first book inspired.
