Summary: Christopher Golden : Promising Author
Review: Although this book hasn't been released yet, I'm unpatiently awaiting it. Why? Because it's Christopher Golden's work! Christopher Golden is a very talented writer. His recent novels (e.g. Spike & Dru : Pretty Maids All in a Row, and the Strangewood series) is proof that his writing skills are excellent. I wouldn't call them skills, as I seem to think of his writing as an art. It takes a horror storyline, and relates to every day lives and problems. Thus making him one of my favorite authors. I plan on buying Prowlers the first day it is available, and instantly beginning to read it. As for the plot, it tells of a young man in a horrible situation. A pre-human race has made it's way into the young man's city - a pre-human race who began the legend of werewolves - and is murdering everyone in sight. When the guy's best friend is found dead, the guy thinks all is lost. But his friend comes back as ghost, to aid the guy in defeating the race. Yep, can't wait!

Summary: The Slaughter in Fenway Park
Review: I have only read a few authors who realized the possibilities of were-humans as well as were-critters. By that, I mean animals that can appear to be human. This is surprising in the light of the number of legends about mythical beasts that can appear human. Chinese dragons, selkies, and the countless creatures of the fey world for starters. So the start of Chris Golden's new series about wolf-like 'monsters' that can pass for human is a break from the usual werewolf novel.The basic thesis is that these 'Prowlers' are of two attitudes. Many have blended into human life, carefully controlling their needs to hunt and kill. But many others long for a return to the wild, seeking human beings for sport and food. These creatures are not bound by the full moon, and are really not magical other than their shape changing abilities. But they are extremely powerful and almost impossible to elude. Basically wolves on a lot of steroids. When Jack Dwyer and Mollie Hatcher lose Artie Carroll, their best friend and lover, to a vicious attack, the last thing Jack expects is to find himself talking to Artie's ghost. Not just Artie either, but other residents of the Ghostlands as well. All victims of the Prowlers, they are warning the youthful and ill-prepared part owner of Bridget's Irish Rose Pub that unless he does something countless citizens of Boston will die. Jack quickly finds the he and Mollie are the next objects of the pack's unending hunt. Equally endangered are Jack's sister Courtney and many of their close friends. For all of them, angered by what happened to Artie, this quickly turns into a war. Aided by the ghosts and fighting to keep Artie's presence a secret from Mollie, Jack finds himself shifting between the Ghostlands and terra firma. This is almost a completely successful novel. Too much time is spent setting the scene for the series to come and not enough steadily building the tension. When the action finally does kick in it does so with a vengeance. Suddenly it is as if there is barely enough time to finish the novel. I found the characters interesting if a little bit too much of the Boston Irish stereotype. We get good insight to the workings of Jack's psyche, but the other characters are less well constructed. Sometimes I think that Golden has spend so much time writing for pre-developed characters, such as Buffy, that he is no longer completely comfortable on his own. And yet, Golden always managed to have enough moments of brilliance to keep pulling the rabbit out of the hat. There is enough here to want to follow the series through at least one more volume.

Summary: Wolves in human clothing.
Review: I've been reading Golden's work for a while now, (SAINTS AND SHADOWS, STRANGEWOOD, to name a few) and I've found him to be an author you can trust for great storytelling, crisp writing, and good, creepy entertainment. PROWLERS is the first of a planned series about monsters among us and a great opener. The Prowlers of the title are an ancient breed of werewolf-like creatures that do not change with the moon, but cloak themselves in human skin and change at will. They have walked among us for centuries and hunted humans. A powerful new leader is bringing the scattered packs together and making them more dangerous and organized. A young man, Jack Dwyer, stumbles across their shadowy existence when his best friend is slaughtered by several members of the pack. Jack, who has been forced to mature beyond his years due to personal tragedies, becomes the greatest enemy the pack has ever known. Strongly recommended.

Summary: Impossible to put down, awesome!
Review: I've just finished reading Wild Things, the last in the Prowlers series, and I have to say, this series is amazing. Since the first book, I've been unable to wait until the next, to see how Jack and Molly would handle the monstrous Prowlers the next time. Mr. Golden is an amazing author, and I have been a fan of his since reading his Body of Eveidence books starring Jenna Blake (which I really hope would come back!), and Strangewood, and I have to say that the Prowlers books are my favourites! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys good thrillers, monsters, and realistic characters! Andy - webmaster of Wild Things: An Unofficial Prowlers Website - [URL]

Summary: Another thrilling suspense book by Christopher Golden
Review: In the past Christopher Golden has wowed us with thrilling Buffy novelizations and the amazing Body of Evidence series, but with Prowlers he breaks new ground, giving us a series that's more adult than YA. The hero, 19-year-old Jack Dwyer, has not lived an easy life. His mother died when he was only 10, leaving her bar to him and his sister, a bar that he has owned half of since he was in high school. But when a new tragedy strikes Jack he finds it difficult to deal with. His best friend Artie, and a girl he might have gone out with have been murdered in a brutal way. Jack tries to move on but unfortunately Artie won't let him. Jack is shocked when Artie comes back from the ghost worlds to warn him about horrible creatures called Prowlers. They are monsters, wolves with human faces, that move from city to city, killing and murdering until they're almost found out. The pack gets larger and larger with every bound and now only Jack can stop them. Like the Jenna Blake series, this novel is suspenseful and mysterious and like Chris Golden's Buffy novel's they're filled with their fare share of supernatural monsters. I very much enjoyed this book and look foreword to reading the rest of the series. I recommend this book to fans of the Jenna Blake series and others of the like.

Summary: A harrowing new series begins.
Review: Jack Dwyer is devastated over his best friend Artie's death. Artie had been with him for a long time, and had made him feel normal since the death of his mother nine years ago. Even with the help of friends Bill and Molly, something still seems disturbing about Artie's murder. Then, an amazing thing happens -- Artie appears before Jack as a ghost, more than once, and tells him of the Prowlers, hideous and brutal creatures that
prey on humans all over the world. No one can see them -- except for Jack. And when the Prowlers discover that Jack knows about their secret, everyone is in danger. Jack is in for the wildest
and most terrifying journey of his life. The first thrilling
book in the Prowlers series is among one of the best young adult fiction books I have ever read. And, it's long too, so readers
are in for one long, wild, and suspenseful trip.
