Wolf Tracks

How red devil buses and self-taught artists have enlivened one Latin American nation

A standalone title in New York Times bestselling author Vivian Arend’s light-hearted, feel-good paranormal series. ~~~~~ Score one for the underdog…er…wolf. TJ Lynus is a legend in Granite Lake for his easygoing demeanor—and his clumsiness. His carefree acceptance of his lot vanishes when his position as best man brings him face to face with someone he didn’t expect. His mate. His very human mate. Suddenly, one thing is crystal clear: if he intends to claim her, his usual laid-back attitude isn’t going to cut it. Pam Quinn has a short agenda for her time in the north: act as maid-of-honour for her best friend, enjoy a Yukon wilderness trip, and maybe indulge in a little Northern Delight with the delectable best man, TJ. Nothing serious, though, because she knows too well that true love is a fairytale that seldom, if ever, comes true. Being kidnapped wasn’t on her list… Stuck together in the wilderness, TJ’s got one shot to convince her that some fairytales are worth fighting for. Warning: By popular demand: clumsy sidekick wolf grows up, sarcasm reigns, and the wilderness gets wilder. Includes hot nookie in places you expect—like a remote cabin—and places you don’t. —– The NORTHERN LIGHTS EDITION is a revised and extended version of the 2010 original.

A killer stalks the city's streets . . . Only a crazed beast could have committed the grisly murders that are terrorizing the city of Toronto. The victims are usually young women, their bodies found mangled as though torn apart by the fangs of a rabid animal. Yet witnesses swear they have seen the hulking figure of a man nearby. But everyone knows there's no such thing as a werewolf . . . First published in 1980, Wolf Tracks is a page-turning horror thriller by David Case (1937-2018), a master of the werewolf tale whom Washington Post critic Michael Dirda named "one of the half-dozen finest living practitioners of the horror story". Two volumes of Case's short fiction and his Egyptian-themed horror novel The Third Grave (1981) are also available from Valancourt. "Let us hear more of David Case . . . The field needs more from the author of 'The Hunter', a modern classic worthy to stand beside 'The Most Dangerous Game'." - Ramsey Campbell

In the 1930s, the National Park Service stopped killing wolves in Alaska's McKinley National Park, beginning a controversy over the value of predators and game animals which lasted for more than 20 years. In this volume, Rawson (history, Alaska Pacific U.) examines the history of this controversy and discusses the ways in which it continues to shape National Park Service policy. c. Book News Inc.
