Remember when I put out a call for great werewolf tales? Found one!

Beast by Nick Clausen is a thrilling and mysterious werewolf tale with a shocking ending that I cruised right through!

Full disclosure: I was given a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my rating in any way.

Let’s dive in to my review!

My Thoughts on Beast by Nick Clausen

Beast by Nick Clausen book cover

This quick novella really packs a punch!

I really enjoy tales that seem pretty straightforward, but prove your thoughts wrong at the very end.

In this tale, I loved the two main characters, Connor and Hunter. Their bond was so wonderful. Just imagining a teenager walking around town with a very well behaved and unleashed Czechoslovakian Wolfdog paints a great picture!

This tale was a wonderful mix of mystery and murder. While short, the pacing was perfect and the plot had me totally immersed.

Thanks to the wonderful writing, this is a tale that really plays out in your head!

My Final Thoughts on Beast

Beast is another novella by Nick Clausen that I would highly recommend to fans of YA Horror! And if you haven’t read them yet, check out my reviews for some of his other works, They Come At Night and Human Flesh.

Snag a copy of this novella by visiting Nick’s website, here!

Max is one of the most hilarious people that I fol Max is one of the most hilarious people that I follow on Twitter! I originally learned who he was after seeing him participate in the KillerCon 2020 Virtual Event. I went to follow him and his publishing house, Perpetual Motion Machine (that he runs with Lori Michelle), immediately after his reading.

Within the PMM publishing house, they also have the imprint, Ghoulish Books, which launched in January of 2022. Max’s latest book, Maggots Screaming!, launched today April 12th, 2022 from that imprint. In celebration, I’m so excited to be sharing this interview with Max!

In the foreword, the author warns that this is a book of fears, and boy does he play on fears wonderfully! Each tale is presented to readers in the first person to really get readers in the characters shoes. Please use caution here when you dive in. The author does not shy away from the darkness.

Phew, this read will take readers on quite the journey! It was the perfect read for a dark and rainy spring weekend.
