Run Werewolf Run
Run Werewolf Run
“A one-of-a-kind novel, an uncanny blending of An American Werewolf in London, On the Road, and National Lampoon's Vacation.”
—Eric G. Wilson, author, Against Happiness
About the Book
Clifford Monroe needs a break—from his job, his family, and the never-ending, mind-numbing grind of his everyday existence. So he heads out on a roadtrip to clear his head and recapture the spirit of his youth. A little adventure is good for the soul! Clifford's existential jaunt unravels quickly after he meets a rugged hunk named Channing. Channing is everything Clifford isn't. He's wild, carefree, and untethered from responsibility. He's also hiding a very dark secret. And when he decides to share it with Clifford, things go from bad to worse to downright catastrophic. Inspired by the works of John Cheever and Richard Yates, plus every great werewolf movie you've ever seen, Run Werewolf Run is the first novel from writer/director Onur Tukel. It's outrageous, sexy, bloody, and action-packed—a true feast for werewolf lovers everywhere! Includes over 100 black-and-white illustrations by the author.
