Inexplicably pulled toward one another, and with no other choice, Remshi and Talulla must join forces to protect their families, fulfill an ancient prophecy and - through a love that should be impossible - ensure the survival of their species.

The Lycanthrope Clan's blood lust won't be satisfied until it completes the extinction of its mortal enemy, the vampire-like subspecies of humanity, the Homo Sanguinus.

A dog's breakfast? Perhaps, but reviewers of Matsui's previous titles, Late Bite and Gravity Games, say the author is able to meld "all these genres flawlessly." On Late Bite: "What kind of novel is this? Late Bite is a page turner, but it is also a novel that will make you think. I'm not sure how to define this novel in terms of a genre. Thriller with mystery and horror elements? An action/ adventure packed crime novel? Or should we read it as a psychological and paranormal character study?" On Gravity Games: "You know when I mentioned that it was a mash-up? It was. From Foodie Thriller to Government Conspiracies to one hell of an awesome Con Game, all the while having all the trappings of SF, fantastic characters, and really tight plot? The novel not only shifted gears effortlessly, it even made it reasonable."

Instant #1 bestseller! From the award-winning screenwriter and International Emmy nominee comes this unexpectedly dark and twisted thriller. It's 1994, and three stand-up comedians have embarked on a tour of smaller communities across a remote stretch of rural Canadian countryside. Dale is a 40-something comic from Chicago who's on the back half of a mediocre career and thinking about quitting the business. Rynn is a 20-something fast-rising comedy star from Dublin with a big break into TV on her horizon. And who is this third guy, the hulking young man added to the bill at the last minute by a booker with dubious motives? He goes by Hobie Huge, and his enormous physical presence is unfortunately not matched by his skills as opening act. But his brutal lack of ability as a comedian turns out to be the least of his companion's problems. Huge starts to show signs of a terrifying capacity for brutality offstage too—and for Dale and Rynn, the tour becomes less about getting laughs and more about getting off the road alive. It's going to take some getting used to, but Brent Butt is no longer just a funny guy. His debut novel is so accomplished it's frightening.
