This wolfy twist on the hard-boiled detective genre was written by New York volunteer police officer Nicholas Pekearo, who was sadly killed on duty shortly after The Wolfman was published.

Here’s a rundown of some tradition-inspired favourites, and some boundary-stretching, experimental contributions to the world of werewolf stories. Like their bloodsucking counterparts, werewolves have appeared in legends all over the world, and so it’s unsurprising that many different countries have their own takes on werewolf fiction. It doesn’t have the popularity of vampire- or zombie-centred stories, but I’ve always found werewolf fiction to be a fascinating – and underrated – part of the supernatural canon.

A new century approaches, but as the djinn gather for celebrations, a threat brews unseen in the desolate north, one that seeks the aid of an ancient warrior trapped between worlds. As Nahri carefully navigates life in the dangerous royal court, Ali has been exiled and must rely on the frightening abilities gifted to him by unpredictable spirits in order to survive. In Daevabad, djinn summon flames with the snap of a finger, blood can be dangerous as any spell, and a clever con artist from Cairo will alter the fate of a kingdom in the thrilling sequel to THE CITY OF BRASS.
