Gunther is a novella that is the prequel to My Pet Werewolf. I haven't yet read this book, but now I will! I really enjoyed the narrator and feel the narration fit the character and story.

This was a nicely written novella, and it was quickly paced. I loved the journey of the main character from disbelief to horror to acceptance to looking for a cure. He was completely relatable, and I'm keen to follow his journey.

The only issue I had with the novella is how abruptly it ended but I know the rest of the story is in My Pet Werewolf and if I had read that first I probably wouldn't have felt the same way. It also felt abrupt because I had completely invested in the characters, which is a sign of great things to come from the book. 

I really enjoyed listening to this and will definitely read the book.

Great novella

A great prequel to My Pet Werewolf, one of the best werewolf novels I've read in recent years.

This is the story of Gunther before he was discovered hiding out in a dark cave, in the dead of night, by a young mischievous teenager. This short prequel answers those burning questions about Gunther you will have after reading My Pet Werewolf.

The short form of the story is a positive and a negative, I’d have liked more of the werewolf, but I supppose the way the story is told it has to be that way. I’ll definitely be reading my pet werewolf!

This got me hooked for more of the story, it’s pure 90s horror trash in the best way
