Summary: Fun homage
Comment: Corny, but I liked it a lot. Also like Harry Shannon's wonderful 2003 novel "Night of the Werewolf," 'Return of the WOlf Man' is a fun homage to the genre packed with inside jokes (Shannon's terrifying romp uses the names of horror authors as characters, Jeff Rovin features the people in and around the great Universal monster films as characters). Worth tracking down.

Summary: TRIPE
Comment: I had to force myself to finish this one. Good idea, bad execution. I can't believe anyone would buy this for $18.00 as shown above.
Rating: 5
Summary: The really bad thing about this novel.
Comment: 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'....
