This Time Around: A Canadian Werewolf Story Kindle Edition

CAUGHT BETWEEN THE MOON AND NEW YORK CITY

Being a werewolf isn't all about howling at the moon. Or running carelessly through boundless fields feeling the wind in your fur. Not when you live in the most populous city in the US.

For Michael Andrews, a Canadian living in Manhattan and afflicted with lycanthropy, there are odd side effects to being a werewolf in the middle of a bustling metropolis.

Such as waking up naked in Battery Park with absolutely no memory of the night before as a wolf and trying to figure out why there is a bullet hole in his leg.

It's just another day in the life of a man living with the odd side effect of his werewolf affliction.

(PLEASE NOTE THAT this is a short story. This 10,000 word story is the original short written by Mark Leslie that eventually inspired the full length novel: A Canadian Werewolf in New York)

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Mark Leslie would be the first person to admit he's still afraid of the monster under his bed. That might be why most of his books explore the darker side. In addition to penning a series of true ghostly tales (that include SPOOKY SUDBURY, HAUNTED HOSPITALS and CREEPY CAPITAL), he has written a few horror titles (I, DEATH, ONE HAND SCREAMING, and NOCTURNAL SCREAMS), is the editor of the horror anthologies CAMPUS CHILLS, FEEL THE FEAR, and SUPERNATURAL, and is the author of the humorous urban fantasy action/adventure 'Canadian Werewolf" series.

His other passions within the non-fiction realm include fan appreciation/trivia books about the classic modern films Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (THE CANADIAN MOUNTED) and Die Hard (YIPPEE KI-YAY MOTHERF*****)

Proudly adopting the term "Book Nerd" for himself, Mark is most comfortable with a pen in hand, fingers on keyboard or with his nose stuck in a book.He can often be seen traveling to book events with a life-sized skeleton named Barnaby Bones.

Born in Sudbury Ontario, Mark has courted with a serious addiction to reading and writing his entire life. He has called both Ottawa, ON and Hamilton, ON home for about a decade each and currently lives in Waterloo, Ontario.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another werewolf story??? Yes!!!

It is hard to imagine a horror genre more written about than werewolves. When the Silver bullet took out Lon Chaney Jr.’s character Decades ago, it was not the end of this genre but only the beginning. So it is difficult to think the storyline could be made new and exciting. But that is exactly what the author has done. He has breathed new life and dimension into the character, the werewolf. And he did it in a way that allows the reader to become acquainted with the human side of the entity. I don’t believe that has been done before, and even if it has been done it has not been done quite as well as this author. The point of view for this short story is the human side of the werewolf, how he wakes up naked , finds himself in the midst of wherever he is and has to figure out how to get back his “normal“ life. It is intriguing to say the least. The reader gets to walk in the characters shoes in a way that brings a new reality and compassion to the Wolfman. I thoroughly enjoyed this short story. And I agree with Sean Costello that this story is the beginning of some great writing by the author.

I agree with the author's friend. This would make a great novel. It was pretty interesting and not like other werewolf stories I have read. There were quite a few grammatical errors, and one error where, after the wolf flashback was over, the text remained to be in italics. That said, I am very forgiving of text errors. As a writer myself, I get it. I make plenty of errors myself. It is worth reading. And, if Mark should ever read this, good job. I was very intrigued.

I really enoyed this short story and wished it had been longer! I'll definitely be picking up the rest of the series.

It's a different take on the werewolf genre with a compelling character and an entertaining journey.

Reviewed in Australia on August 12, 2020

I found myself enjoying this short story. I wanted to know what was going on and to see if the character would make it. I enjoy the fact that he is a werewolf within a city but you don't see the wolf in the story, rather bits and pieces of memories.

The only downside I can see is that it needs a little editing. There were some typos and some text stayed in italics when it shouldn't have been. It would be great if that was looked at.

But this didn't stop me from enjoying it and reading it. It just needs a little editing. In fact this short story has been turned into a full novel. I am going to look at the novel as soon as I am done writing this...

I am done.

This was a fun little book to read. The adventures of a normal werewolf in the Big Apple. Characters were thought out well, and the plot line is unique to say the least. Hard recommend!
