Kritikerstimmen

"Like an updated version of Dracula, only for werewolves, and as rewritten by Bret Easton Ellis."
"Playfully brainy... wry, world-weary Jake Marlowe would make a fabulous dinner companion. Just not during a full moon" (Justin Cronin, author of The Passage)
"Loaded with beautifully constructed lunatic ravings ... A sublime study in literary elegance. It is bloody (and) brilliant."
"A magnificent novel. A brutal, indignant, lunatic howl. A sexy, blood-spattered page-turner, beautifully crafted and full of genuine suspense, that tears the thorax out of the horror genre to create something that stands rapturous and majestic and entirely on its own." (NICK CAVE)
"Sexy, funny, blisteringly intelligent ... Duncan is the cleverest literary horror merchant since Bram Stoker." (Kate Saunders)
"Duncan's monstrous narrator makes for memorably rambunctious company"
"A brilliantly original thriller, a love story, a witty treatise on male (and female) urges, even an existential musing on what it is to be human."
"The Last Werewolf is written with such scandalous ferocity and such grizzly humour it feels like the literary equivalent of howling at the moon. Not since Lon Chaney and John Landis has lycanthropy been such a blast, and Glen Duncan offers more danger, gristle and lunatic brilliance per sentence than any writer I can think of." (MATT HAIG)
"Remarkable for its humour, eloquence and self-aware intelligence. A deeply human narrative about the nature of story itself." (STELLA DUFFY)
"Absolutely brilliant. A surreal, dark and unsettling tale that really did put the bite back into the supernatural. In short, I got a real kick out of it." (Russel McLean)
"I could say that The Last Werewolf is smart, thrilling, funny, moving, beautifully written, and a joy to read, and this would all be true. But it would also be a woeful understatement of what Glen Duncan has accomplished with his extraordinary novel. The only useful thing I can offer you is a simple admonishment. Stop reading my words, and start reading his. Trust me: you'll be happy you did."
"Okay, no hyperbole, just an admission: I loved this novel. It's a howl, a rager, a scream. May The Last Werewolf put a stake through the heart of humorless, overwrought vampire sagas. Two big thumb-claws up!" (Chris Bohjalian, author of Secrets of Eden, The Double Bind, and Midwives)
"A sharp, sometimes savage observer of the human condition, whose talents are as many as the legions of Hell. (On I, Lucifer)" (Matthew Baylis)
"One of the hottest literary properties of the new century. (On I, Lucifer)"
"Duncan's harrowing story raises the question: Is it time to kick vampires to the curb?"
"Duncan's take on the werewolf tale is rich and black and refreshingly novel."
"Carnal and edgy, with gallons of gore, Duncan's smart horror novel about a werewolf who falls in love while trying to evade capture reworks lycanthropic tropes with a hallucinogenic vividness"
