WOW! WOW! WOW! This book was freaking awesome!



A little backstory for you readers.

Place: Gilson Creek, Maine

Someone that resides in the town has a horrific secret that they are hiding and when it is unleashed all hell breaks loose! Cannot go into too much detail because of spoilers, so will just give you all my thoughts on the book itself.

This book takes off from the first chapter as there is some action right away with lots of blood and gore. From the first chapter forward through the rest of the book it is basically non-stop action and bodies being tossed, ripped, gored, and even ate!

This was a classic werewolf story and I was very impressed when I found out that this was a debut novel for the author, Glenn Rolfe!

I would love to see this book become a movie as this reminds me of the old werewolf movies, but just with more graphic detail!

So if you are in the mood for some werewolf action and you are looking for something that will make your pulse pound as you read all the action, then look no further than this book as you will find everything you seek within these pages!



This book was a classic werewolf story and I am giving it five stars for a job well done! :)

Note: I read this book for a buddy read with my Goodreads Horror Aficionados buddies! Always fun to read with that buddy crew! :)

Excellent monster romp. Old style nasty werewolves and heroic main character. Good fun and highly recommended! ( )

3.5 stars!

Who doesn't enjoy a good werewolf tale once in a while? Fall is the perfect time to read this short novel about evil in a small town, under a full moon.

Gilson's Creek was troubled in the past by the Full Moon Killer. Now it's troubled by more crimes. Is this a return of the same killer or something else entirely? You would need to read Blood and Rain to find out!

I found that the pacing was very slow during the first third of the book. After that though, it picked up so much that I read the rest of the book all in the same day. The character development left a little to be desired. At first, I was mixing them up, but it all did become clearer as the story progressed. I felt that the best writing was to be found in the middle-to the end-of the novel where the werewolves were coming into their own. It felt like the author was excited about these portions and that really shone through with the writing.

This is the second story of Rolfe's that I've read. I think this tale shows improvement: in his descriptions and in the quality of his writing. For those reasons, I will continue to keep Glenn Rolfe on my reading radar. He's coming into his own and I want to be there when he arrives.

Recommended for fans of werewolf tales, and for those who love the "evil in a small town" theme!

Where oh where should I start with describing this book? I love a good werewolf story but have become jaded as it seems hard to find quality horror novels sometimes. Blood and Rain happens to be one of those quality horror novels that keeps you turning pages late into the night. Glenn Rolfe's description of the woods and storms is so well done that you feel as if you are right there listening for sounds (howls) in the woods while you are drenched in the rain in the dark of the night. He develops the characters just as well and you are able to understand each character and know what make each person tick. The werewolves are incredible and are major bad-asses. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and am looking forward to looking up his other novels. I received a free copy of Blood and Rain from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
