Samhain publishing has wisely decided to rerelease the first novel in the Wolf Cycle series. Late last year Samhain released the fourth novel in the Nick Lupo series and although it is said to be a novel that can stand alone, I was eager to refresh my memories of Nick’s beginnings.
As with all of Mr. Gagliani’s books I was compelled to keep turning the pages riveted by Nick’s struggles to become at one with his ‘condition’.
As Nick the cop struggles with controlling the beast he also fights the demons telling him he’s responsible for the deaths around him. Is he doomed to maintain his solitary existence?
Author Bio: W.D. Gagliani is the author of the horror/crime thriller WOLF'S TRAP, a past Bram Stoker Award nominee, as well as WOLF'S GAMBIT and WOLF'S BLUFF (Leisure Books). WOLF'S EDGE was published in October 2011 by Samhain Publishing (ebook, but will be issued in trade paperback in January 2012), and WOLF'S TRAP will also be reissued by Samhain in March 2012.

Gagliani has published the hard-noir thriller SAVAGE NIGHTS, the collection SHADOWPLAYS, and the novella THE GREAT BELZONI AND THE GAIT OF ANUBIS, all available for the Kindle and other formats.
