Rating: - Sex, Death, and Rock n' Roll
In a sleepy little town, evil is bubbling beneath the surface, waiting to erupt. Women are getting violently raped, dead bodies are rising from their slabs in the morgue to walk out, vicious murders are taking place, and strange creatures, resembling large wolves are stalking the darkening abyss of the night.
Meanwhile, a man named Daniel Fargo has the answer to the riddle; he understands that what the sleepy town of Big Rock is against isn't man made carnage, but something of the supernatural. ... Read More
Rating:  - The Best Werewolf Novel Ever!
If you have not yet read a Ray Garton book, then you are in for a treat!
Before I read this novel, Animals by John Skipp & Craig Spector was my favorite werewolf novel. . . No longer though. . .
Ray Garton has written the quintessential werewolf novel!
I have always been a fan of the hardcore, violent vampire novels - werewolf novels are generally good, yet I always preferred vampires to werewolves. However, due to this novel, Ray again has changed my preferences - the werewolves ... Read More
Rating:  - style lacking
I've just started reading "Ravenous" and have encountered a pet peave of mine that too many writers are guilty of: telling the reader everything that's going on every second of every scene; every movement of the character; every detail of a room. It took five pages for the werewolf hunter to get from the lobby to the room the werewolves are in. Flow and economy in writing are wonderful things, and they are both lacking so far in this book. Even if the story itself turns out to be ultimately interesting, it's going ... Read More
Rating:  - Great idea! But written more like a fan fiction - Spoilers
I must say, this will be my first ever, critical review. I thought the idea of werewolfism being a STD was great, brilliant even. And for the most part, the book was a good read. The characters were not as fleshed out as I would have hoped, but it was still pretty good. But then I got to the ending. I have never been so disappointed in my life in the ending of a book. I felt like I got punk'd. The author built up the character of Fargo as being very Van Helsing. He was out for revenge against the main werewolf who killed ... Read More
Rating: - Adequate fiction
Werewolf novels seem to be all too rare within the last few years, so it's always a treat to see one hit the bookstores, especially when it's one by Ray Garton. Admittedly, I've only read three other novels by Mr. Garton, but all three of those were outstanding.
Unfortunately, Ravenous was a bit thin. The premise, lycanthropy as an STD, was a nice twist, especially the way it transformed the usual solitary werewolf into a virulent plague of monsters, spreading like wildfire throughout a small northern California ... Read More
