Autumn 1983. Michael Jackson’s Thriller dominates the charts. Tom Cruise slides across the floor in his underpants. Mr. T pities the fool. And on the campus of Boston’s Holbrook University, Nathan Harrington is pretty sure he’s turning into a werewolf.

Nathan had a plan. Graduate with honors, marry a trophy wife, run for office. Then he met Gretchen Stump–AKA “The Dog Girl”–the hirsute transfer student from East Nowhere, Maine.

Gretchen and Nathan are from different worlds. Perhaps even different species. They make no sense together. And yet, they can’t stay away from each other.

But Gretchen has a secret. And under the orange glow of the full harvest moon–Nathan learns the truth. Gretchen isn’t like other humans. She’s cursed. And she may have just passed that curse on to him.

Now his hair and nails grow faster than he can trim them. His sense of smell is astonishing. Exposure to the moon makes his skin itch. He blacks out at night, waking up in strange places.

And there’s been a murder on campus. A violent mauling.

And that’s just the beginning of the trouble at Holbrook University. For Nathan, things are about to get really hairy…

At times howlingly funny, other times bitingly horrific, Hungry Like the Wolf is a campus thriller, tragic romance, and blood-soaked creature feature you can really sink your teeth into.
