Wolf at the Door by Joel McKay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ahhhh, Thanksgiving dinner. A tradition you may love or dread depending on the family you’re a part of.
Married, mother-of-two, Charlotte Deerborn, has vowed this is going to be a good Thanksgiving. She’s pulled out all the stops to present a fabulous day for family and friends.
Unfortunately, the other members of this spectacular dinner aren’t so gung-ho for it.
Just when the toxic dialogue, uncomfortable comments and bad behavior seem to be at their peak, just when the attendees think things can’t get much worse, they do and in a striking and unbelievable way.
Knock, knock, it’s a werewolf at your door and he wants his dinner too!!!
Is anyone going to get out of this damn dinner alive!? You’ll have to pick this one up to find out.
Seriously, y’all, I’m tickled pink. Wolf at the Door is a bloody great little creature feature. This one should be on everyone’s Spooky Season TBR!!
The set-up is fun. This group of characters is bleak. They don’t get along, you wonder why anyone even agreed to go to this dinner, but hey, that’s family.
I enjoyed how McKay didn’t shy away from the blood and violence of this Thanksgiving day night. It’s all on page for you to enjoy.
It gets claustrophobic as the characters are literally trapped inside a remote house waiting for either daylight to come, or their own tragic end.
I definitely recommend this one for Horror fans. If you love creature features that take it there, this one should scratch that itch nicely.
Thank you so much to the publisher, Birchwood Press, for providing me with a copy to read and review. I had a lot of fun with this one!
