"This is a fully-realized world he's created; he packs in details about the characters and their surroundings without slowing the story down. By grounding things in reality, the more fantastic elements and events - and there are many of them - become all the more vibrant." - Ain't It Cool News "A rich, imaginative combination of chilling nightmare and SF adventure." - Horrorview "The Wolves of London is a great read and an exciting start of the Obsidian Heart trilogy. Horror fans will find plenty of monsters and supernatural themes to enjoy throughout the book.
