Too poor to live in the village, he and his mother fend for themselves in their forest hovel alone for months at a time, his father preoccupied with mysterious business abroad. Alive, but taking no comfort in the presence of the man who had left him and his mother to face death on their own, Konrad soon discovers that his father’s work has followed him home… …and it's hungry.. Many villagers turn a blind eye to what is happening, but those who believe tremble at the mere whisper of the word: werewolf. Konrad is one such boy. There are those who stand and fight, however. After a vicious assault on their homestead, Konrad finds himself buried beneath his mother’s mutilated body, escaping death only due to his father's chance return. THE BEASTS WILL FEED. THE DENSE BAVARIAN FOREST outside the town of Rattenberg has long been rumored to harbor something sinister, something wild — mythical beasts that vanish into the shadowy woods after each attack, leaving carnage as the only evidence of their existence

After the reader is introduced to the characters and the current situation, the main part consists of the hunt - but not that o. "Another solid horror story from Jason Parent" according to Share The Horror. This is the third piece I've read from Jason Parent. He's definitely got skills and isn't afraid to push himself as a writer. Much like the his last novella, Unseemly, this one has Parent easily crafting believable characters outside of the US. That's not an easy feat. Parent's use of language is admirable.As for the story itself, I felt pulled in right off the bat. Konrad is a kid who witnesses his mother's death at the hands of beasts. His father's return is unwelcome by the boy, but the secrets (his father) revealed bring to light the h
