WHEREWOLVES: A Realistic Werewolf Horror Kindle Edition

Bullies, jocks, and geeks. A teacher. The woods. An unspeakable horror.
A fresh take on an old theme where nothing is what it seems.
What is out there? Can it really be werewolves?

“KEPT ME ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT. GETS YOUR PULSE POUNDING.”
Author and award winning investigative journalist, Victor Malarek

Using a fun, explosive style, full of new slang and fresh dialogue, WHEREWOLVES is the story of a group of high school seniors, most “military brats”, who are headed for an army-type survival weekend.

"5 stars. It reminded me a bit of Lord of the Flies versus Silver Bullet but only way cooler."

"Chillingly terrifying."

The underdogs, Jeffrey and Doris, do not want to go as they fear for their safety among the disdain and cruelty of the popular students. Sergeant Tim O’Sullivan, their teacher, as well as their dysfunctional parents pressure them into going, but it is an unforgivable act by their peers that propels the pair to go. Likewise, Elie, a student resented because of his Arab roots, is even more determined to prove himself this weekend. In the background, a news report cautions of a wanted couple with alleged super-human strength supposedly brought on by a new drug on the streets.

In the woods, the students hike, hunt, camp, and soon act in unity as the forest brings them closer together. But does it? O’Sullivan leaves them alone for the night. The students bond, chant, tell campfire tales, and quickly lose their fears and inhibitions. HOO-AH! Though sexual tensions are high, it soon turns to violence and everything quickly turns sour.

When the kids start disappearing one after the other, the remaining begin to unwittingly “act like the natives” carving spears, ready to face whatever is out there. What has gotten into them?

Amid blood-curdling growls and gruesome deaths, the story’s underlying layers are revealed. We see how misconceptions, prejudice, greed, fear, and hatred bring out the worst and best in us.

What is out there? Can it really be werewolves?

"This is one horror novel that will have you thinking long after you've finished reading."

“SPARKLING DIALOGUE…THE WRITING IS SENSATIONAL.”
Emmy and Peabody Award winning writer, William Mastrosimone

About the Author

Together for over 25 years, John and Olga started as an acting team but soon began to write their own scripts for lack of finding two-person plays they could tour across North America. They wrote and toured four full-length critically acclaimed plays to packed houses across Canada and the United States, including, Bad Boy, which they performed Off-Off-Broadway at New York's Creative Place Theatre in the heart of Times Square. In 2001, they were approached to star in and rewrite the short film, Things Never Said in Playa Perdida. Playa won the audience award at the New York Short Film Festival in 2002 and tied first place at the Festivalisimo festival in Montreal. WHEREWOLVES is their first novel.

A wonderful find!

This ain't your grampa's werewolf story! I loved the tension and the "who survives" questions. I don't want to give anything away but there are plenty surprises throughout. I downloaded the 'sample' at first. As I have been telling people, this book had me at 'touchdown.' Read it and find out what I mean. This was a surprise find and completely un-put-downable. It's been awhile since I've read something quite this captivating. The authors have told me there's more coming in this series and I simply can't wait! Buy this book and get ready to spend some quality time with...something rustling in the woods! It's watching you, licking its lips and...!

A Break from all Those Zombie Stories

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2018

Like any good horror movie this book starts out with a girl being chased by some unseen terror of the night. That is where the similarity to a classic horror films ends.

Wherewolves is a thrill ride that starts with a group of “at risk students” on a survival weekend that is meant to help them get past some traumas in their personal lives and help them find their inner hero and ends with the survivors being traumatized in ways that would have surprised even Rod Serling.

This is NOT a straight up teenagers vs. monsters story. This is much more going on here then wherewolves hunting their teen aged prey. While the pack picking off the kids and turning them into dog chow is terrifying enough, what is really going on is absolutely chilling.

They author tells a very deep story where the tension levels are often off the hook. There are times when it felt like the reader just needed a rest but putting the book down was impossible. With that said, the problem with the book is that its lack of likable characters. There were times I found myself rooting for the monsters, which actually may have been the authors intent. There is also a bit too much of a mixed group of teenagers doing what a mixed group of teenagers would do if dropped into the woods. I know enough about the pranks and sex life teenagers from MTV's Jackass and Teen Mom, I didn’t find it helpful in this book. Other than that, I thought this was a fun and intense read that gives us horror fans a break from zombies.

Good, not great

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2013

My thought after the first several chapters was that this was a typical horror story. Group of teens, by themselves, sexually charged, picked off one by one. I found myself disturbed at the length that the popular kids went to in order to pick on the unpopular ones. But that is real life and it IS disturbing to me. I think that some of the characters and their back story could have been better developed, and it may have drawn me more into the story. I found myself reading just to finish it, until the twist started developing, and then I was reading to find out what happens. Again, that could have used more developing, and it would have been even more entertaining. When it ended it seemed rather abrubt. Instead of a feeling of "whew" or "wow" at the end, I was feeling a bit disappointed. While it was entertaining, and much better than a lot of garbage on TV, not a lot of it painted that mental picture for me that I enjoy when I read.

I’m a big fan of werewolves. It’s why I was eager to read WHEREWOLVES by the writing team of John Vamvas and Olga Montes. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that there’s a new wherewolf in town.

Not the same old same, it’s a new take on an old theme. Moving at the speed of light, it’s fast-paced and adventurous. With quick wit and incisive descriptions, the characters are fleshed out just enough to make them interesting and ripe for attack. Loved the book and loved the writing team. It’s a good read that delivers!

A Real Letdown

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2017

Cliches, atop cliches. Take a group of highschool studdnts and then load up their characters with every cliche imaginable. Then to top it off tbe story wasn't very creative and followed a well worn path of previous werewolf and other monster stories. The twists were very much visible well before they arrived.

For all intensive purposes this started out life as a made for TV screenplay that wasn't good enough to make the cut. Then hastily re-wrapped into a light book. The screenplay it was developed from is very evident throughout the book. This has given it loads of short choppy sentences, as well as near constant amounts of time spent in a third person narrative.

I found little or nothing to keep my interest with this one.

What a truly magnificent book! I'm nearly 60 but it took me right back to my school days and the relentless bullying I endured. As I read more, I saw how in the right circumstances we are all no more than rats in a maze to be studied by cruel and insidious scientists. Congratulations to John & Olga for delivering such a fine piece of writing. I'll look forward to reading more from you.

Two not-so-popular high school seniors are forced to go on a camping trip with their fellow classmates. The group leader is ex-military, as are most of the kids – military brats. The leader leaves them alone in the woods to fend for themselves. Whether this is by design or for some other reason is unknown.

The kids soon get into trouble (of course). There is something out there in the woods. It’s tracking them. Classmates soon disappear. They are killed.

This book reminded me of Lord of the Flies in some ways. A bunch of kids run amok and revert to non-societal acceptable forms of behavior. The reader can just tell who is going to do what.

I didn’t find the book either fun or explosive. In fact, it was rather predictable and more than a little boring. It was adapted from a screenplay, and it read like one (I would imagine). Not having much exposure to screenplays, I couldn’t even tell if it were a very good one. I found the writing style disruptive and disjointed. It also read like a young adult novel. I was immediately struck by this. I did not enjoy the book. There are far too many good books out there to read to spend time reading one such as this.

I want to thank NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for forwarding to me a copy of this book to read and review.

it's by far the best book I have read this year if not in the last 18 months. Twists and turns, with a very different take on a classic tale of the monster lurking inside. Looking forward to the sequel.

Frightening Wherewolves Horry Story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 6, 2014

I downloaded this book because I came into contact with John and Olga via twitter and I do like horror fiction very much.

I would class this book in the teen horror genre, although I am not sure any parents should let their teenagers have access to this book due to the graphic violence, bullying and language content. It probably classes as 18+ rating. :)

I believe this book has a potential screenplay in the pipeline which has not yet been released and I can see why, it's probably easier to watch then read. When I started the book I found the first few chapters quite hard going. The reason for this was the action was instantaneous and you are introduced to a large number of characters in a very short space of time. You almost have to start reading the first 3-4 chapters very slowly so you take it all in else it's easy to lose track.

Once you have progressed through the first few chapters it does become easier and quite enjoyable. The only other place you almost lose track because of how fast the story develops is when each teenager at the campsite starts disappearing, again if you are a fast reader like me you have to slow down to take it all in else you will get lost or lose track. The book itself is very well written.

The story is about a group of teenagers who go on a weekend survival trip with their teacher, a former war veteran Tim O' Sullivan. He decides to perform an experiment on the kids and then abandons them to fend for themselves. However the experiment goes wrong as a few of them are tricked by some fellow teenagers on the trip resulting in devastating consequences for all involved in the single night they are camped out.

In fact the book starts near the end of the story and flashes back to the start. There are no heros in this book and most of the teenagers are deeply disturbed and dysfunctional .I did like Doris and Jeffrey as they were the more human of the lot and were constantly being bullied by the others, so you wanted in a way for them to get back at the others but not in the way they finally did. Dawn is also an enigma watching the scene but not talking for much of the book. Alex and Elie were also likeable characters. Lancy and Billy Bob did the best they could at surviving although the end for them was still devastating.

I can see why the book is called a realistic wherevolves story because if there were wherevolves out in the forest while you were camping the end result would be what actually happens in this book and not some romantic low key happy ending ! :)

This is a very good book and I look forward to watching it on the screen someday but probably not with my daughter present :)
