Robert Clark’s “Lycanthrope” is a good old-fashioned horror story that will appeal to fans of the genre.  In some ways, it is a throwback to earlier times before werewolves were friendly or romantic.  I thoroughly enjoyed the ‘lore’ regarding lycanthropes and the debunking of some of the ‘myths’ associated with werewolves.From the introduction, it was apparent that this book is for those that like gore and things that go bump in the night.  The work centres around a group of college friends who learn the hard-way that myths and legends may be based in fact.  In a moment of bravado and innocence, the group attracts the attention of a lycanthrope or werewolf.  As a result, the group is picked off one by one, leaving those remaining friends and local law enforcement bewildered as to what is occurring i.e. the debate between the rational and the supernatural.For those interested, the work does end with plot points that need to be resolved and secrets to be revealed.  If, however, you prefer your werewolves of the bloody variety, a good old-fashioned gore fest and “what are you doing?” moments in your story, this book is for you.
