If you already pay attention to my ramblings you know that I don’t spend much time promoting my work. So you might say, why now? That’s simple. I just finished a new edition of the book. Needless to say, I think those edits make it an even better reading experience. Which is pretty cool considering some of the glowing editorial reviews Apex Predator has already garnered:

“It takes mere paragraphs to become addicted to author’s unique style and infectious story telling prowess…pace is swift… rare commodity for one to stumble across… mesmerizing conclusion… vivid description… pulse pounding action… borderline poetic and the crystal clear imagery inspires the suspense fanatic in each of us… eloquent grisly, gory and gruesome prose. Douglas evokes an unsettling level of skin crawling hysteria for even the most cynical of readers…one cannot help but squirm with unease and maybe double and triple check that the locks have been secured for the night. Rest assured Apex Predator is not your Uncle Ned’s Werewolf story. It’s invigorating, innovative and refreshing to see an age old premise composed with a brand new edge…will jump at the chance to embark upon another S.M. Douglas odyssey.”

 “More than just Lycanthropes vs. Wolves of Wall Street, the novel is an ambitious examination of corporate corruption–with carnage that feels cathartic…shape-shifters have definite horror appeal…guaranteed to amuse horror aficionados.”
Diabolique Magazine
“Apex Predator, with its classic occult-like mainstay and a vivid representation of a dystopian world, certainly makes for a fun read…will rightfully keep you up all night…Awarded five out of five stars.”
— Serious Reading
“The ending was a surprising twist. The book is well-written and a very enjoyable read.”
–Mildred Fontanez, Goodreads Review
“This book was a great read. It’s a great mix of historic events and really good fiction.”
–Michael Smith, Goodreads Review
 “I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Having always been a werewolf fan, this was an interesting twist on the tale. The characters are complex and endearing enough that you find yourself drawn into their world. The action is fast paced and keeps you reading page after page to find out what happens.”
–Rob De Stefano, Goodreads Review
 “A very good read. I loved it one of the best werewolves books I’ve read. I recommend this to anyone”
–William Riley, Goodreads Review

That’s enough of that. I’m feeling downright immodest. But hey, a sale is a sale! So, if you’re a fan of werewolf horror, or maybe you’ve been wondering if I know how to spin a tale then now’s your chance. Beginning this Thursday you have a whole week to check out Apex Predator for only $0.99!

Give it a chance. If you like it then let me know (ideally doing so on the book’s Amazon page).

 

Cool Behind the Scenes Werewolf Creation Pics From The Howling

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – real special effects still beat CGI when it comes to werewolves. Rob Bottin’s beasts in the original 1981 Howling are my favorite.

Regardless, here are several behind the scenes shots from the aforementioned Howling.

Anyway, from one werewolf creator to all the others out there I say this – More real effects please!
