The overall concept came to me when I was editor-in-chief at a publishing company called IDW Publishing (famous for, among other things, publishing the original 30 Days of Night comic books, which became a very successful comic book line, two movies, and six novels). Season of the Wolf is a novel that's been in the works for more than a decade, in one form or another. "Season Of The Wolf will go a long way to further Jeff Mariotte’s reputation as one of today’s best writers of horror and dark fiction." -TT Zuma, Horror World Season of the Wolf is a heart-stopping supernatural thriller about climate change, the human capacity for evil, and the epic struggle between a small town’s citizens and impossible creatures from the dawn of history. What is Alex’s connection to the missing women? Will anyone live long enough to find out? And what’s up with those wolves? Some of the killers have fur, fangs, and claws-but some don’t. People are dying and women are disappearing. But there's more going on-in his mind, and in Silver Gap-than Alex knows. When Alex Converse, heir to a coal company fortune, visits Silver Gap, Colorado to make an environmentally themed documentary film, he's hoping to change some minds and to soothe his own troubled conscience. This tale is fast paced, frightening, but at the same time addictive in that you can't stop reading it." -Midwest Book Review That being said, I don’t think Dean and Sam jumped off the page enough in this book and some of the characterizations were a little off."Season of the Wolf is a violent thriller, but still has a realistic aspect to this supernatural tale.
There was also added intensity as the boys race against time to solve the mystery behind what’s causing the killings before a huge shopping mall is opened, all those people in such a confined space just screams body count.Īs the days pass, people in the town are being picked off by a deadly horde of spirits (both animal and human) and pretty soon the local Sheriff realises that the Winchesters are the towns best hope against what is happening. I really loved the setting of the book, the small scale of the town only added to the feeling of isolation. The boys are visiting a small ranch land close to the Grand Canyon to investigate (and hopefully prevent) a murder spree that seems to occur every forty years.
I have to say I much preferred the story of Witch’s Canyon over that of Nevermore. Supernatural Book #2 – Witch’s Canyon by Jeff Mariotte
