​Book Description

Bobby had almost convinced himself that his lover's death was an accident. It wasn't his fault. Once the uncontrollable tingling began in his hands, he could only watch in horror as they killed her. But then one day he saw the jogger. As his eyes followed the man, he felt that same eerie power flowing into his arms and legs, and he found himself running with inhuman animal grace to overtake the runner. And with that chase began a reign of terror. Night after night the beast will silently stalk the London streets, its bloody jaws and tearing claws leaving only death in its wake.

A classic of contemporary horror whose many admirers have included Stephen King and Peter Straub, Thomas Tessier's novel The Nightwalker (1979) has been recognized as one of the finest werewolf stories ever written. This edition includes an afterword by the author.

REVIEWS

"The Nightwalker is very likely the most unusual occult novel I have ever read, and not just because of its unusual excellence. Tessier's gift is to suck the reader right down into Bobby Ives, so that he sees and feels along with him. That makes the book one of those few novels which is an emotional experience. I think it will be read for a long time." - Peter Straub

"I've been telling people for years that the werewolf novel is the toughest of the 'classic' monster stories to do, but Tessier pulls it off with considerable panache. The Nightwalker is very good indeed, scary, grim, and fast-paced." - Stephen King
