A new heir, Caroline Cooke, has come to the dark castle called the Tombs. And once again the little town of LaMirada is haunted by brutal murder, strange tales, and the mournful howls of an unknown creature. Some say he is crying out for the human blood on which he must feed. But others say he is crying for release from his tormented form--release that only the lovely new occupant of the castle can give him.

BURIED TREASURE FOR MONSTER FANS!!!,
By
This review is from: Return of The Wolf Man (Paperback)
The title and cover may sound cheesy, but this is an incredibly exciting book! There's action, horror, serious violence, classic revivals of all the Universal Monsters, and plenty of tongue-in-cheek references for those "In the Know".Plus we get answers to questions like... What happened to all the monsters after the end of Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein? Who would win in a fight between Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster? Who would win in a fight between The Wolf-Man and Dracula? How exactly do all of these monsters from the 1930's end up in the present? This book is a classic monster lovers dream. Trust me, if you grew up watching Creature Feature on Saturday afternoon, then this is the book for you. I have nothing but respect for how Mr. Rovin handles all of the monsters true to their origin and even weaves in all of the numerous films that they appeared in...he does not take the cowards way out and say, "That never happened." This is remarkable considering the references to Frankenstein vs. The Wolf-Man, House of Dracula, and even...The Deadly Mantis. AWESOME! I started out only reading Return of the Wolf Man because I enjoyed Rovin's VESPERS and FATALIS. But in the end, this book outshines both of those fine works and will earn a nice spot on my bookshelf where I can recommend it to others. Well done Mr. Rovin! So turn out the lights and ...READ AND ENJOY!

A true classic in tribute of the Universal classic monsters,
This review is from: Return of The Wolf Man (Paperback)
This is the best horror novel I've ever read. It picks up were the old movie's left off fifty years ago.Rovin captures the spirit of each monster perfectly. The obsessed Larry Talbot who if unable to destroy the Frankenstein monster and Dracula, wishes only to die. The evil charm of Dracula and the mindless fury of the Frankenstein monster. It also explains how, Larry Talbot who was cured in House of Dracula is once again the Wolfman.Dracula's battles with the Wolfman are well done.The only thing wrong is were still waiting for the sequel?

5.0 out of 5 stars
The really bad thing about this novel.,
By Steve McCredie (Greensborough, Victoria Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Return of The Wolf Man (Paperback)
The REALLY BAD thing about Rovin's novel is that he has Larry Talbot claim he has eaten nothing but human flesh since 1941. Even allowing for his prolonged periods of 'death' between movies, this seems silly. Between full moons, Talbot is just a guy! And no lightweight, either.That's my only, piddling beef. Rovin's book is almost as much fun as the Anno Dracula novels and stories of Kim Newman. Like them it is brim-full of in-jokes and cross-references from our favourite genre. Ever wondered what became of blustery Mr McDougall after Talbot bit him? Whether the Florida of A&C MEET... was the same Florida stalked years later by another monster icon? What really happened to vampire newborn Sandra Mornay after the Frankenstein Monster threw her out the window? What became of Chick and Wilbur? And what happened to Lawrence Talbot's second chance at normal life but we all knew Dr Edelmann's theory was bunk, didn't we)? Rovin answers all that, and more. Pity about poor Professor Stevens though.... Tremendous fun! A pity Jeff could not continue with later volumes in this 'series'....
