There is a moment… just before the change…where you still have a choice. Most never realise it. The Howling Self is not just a collection of werewolf stories. It is a descent into identity…into control…into the thin line between what you are —and what you allow yourself to become.

A recluse who builds a prison of iron and silver to protect the world from what he knows he is capable of.

Three strangers. Three encounters. Three truths that cannot be unseen. In this haunting anthology from Steven M. Cowan, ordinary lives cross the threshold into something older, darker… and far more patient than they ever imagined. In It Was on My Face, a man awakens from a nightmare only to discover that the terror stalking him may not belong to the living world at all. In The Village in the Fog, a traveller takes refuge in a forgotten settlement swallowed by mist—where hunger has waited far longer than he has.

The story of how a man became something far worse than a monster. Before there were legends… Before there were whispers of vampires in the night… There was one. Duncan MacDruston. A warrior feared across the Scottish lands. Undefeated. Unrelenting. Unforgiving. He did not fight for honor. He did not fight for glory. He fought… because he loved it. When peace came, it was not a gift. It was a curse. As Viking raids tore across the coast, Duncan finally found what he craved — endless battle, endless bloodshed. But even that was not enough.

Brutal. Elegant. Eternal. When a string of gruesome modern-day murders sparks chilling echoes of the Whitechapel killings of 1888, profiler Jonah Merrin begins to see a pattern far older—and far darker—than anyone suspects.
