Has anyone here read Brian Easton's books When the Autumn Moon is Bright and heart of Scars? They're part of a series and I guess the only two that are out. Heart of Scars is the later one and it was just out in december. They're about a werewolf hunter but not like some of the others I've seen. Easton takes a very serious and realistic look at werewolves through the eyes of a seriously tormented and emotionally disturbed hunter. The writing is good and the storyline is interesting, but most importantly it creates a very dark mythology where werewolves are concerned. Both books are more about the hunter, Slyvester James, than from the werewolve's POV but I liked that because it gave a different vantage point from which to appreciate the werewolves. Both Easton's books are very dark and not for the faint of heart, and i don't mean just because of the blood and guts everywhere. These are of a serious adult nature and come closer to qualifying as true literature (especially the second one) than any book on the subject I've read in a long time. Amazon has a bunch of reviews on both of them and most everyone agrees with me that they rock hardcore, old school.
