Publisher's summary

When a man sworn to save lives is transformed into a murderous monster, will he be able to stop himself from destroying everything he loves?

Dr. David Bixby is working the night shift in the emergency room when a man is brought in with a gunshot wound. Suffering not just the physical injury, the victim also displays symptoms of a mysterious blood poisoning. Unable to be saved, the man lashes out and bites David in a desperate, dying act.

At first, it seems as if the bite carries no ill effects, but before long, David feels a change inside of him. As the days pass, he finds himself becoming stronger, more aggressive and giving in to his most primal instincts.

As the bewildered physician works to discover what is happening, a stranger confronts him, telling David that he will turn into a savage creature at the next full moon. Worse yet, the man presents him with an impossible choice—end his own life or turn into a bloodthirsty beast.

Will David lose control and spill innocent blood?

Gunther is the savage prequel to My Pet Werewolf. If you like gory monster action, desperate protagonists and dark themes, you'll be thrilled by James Kaine's monstrous story!

Gunther’s backstory!

Gunther is the prequel to My Pet Werewolf and tells the story of how Gunther came to be.
I absolutely loved this novella with its fast pace and character detail. Each scene sucks you into the story. I didn’t want it to end, and thankfully for fans of this novella, it doesn’t as the story continues!
I listened to the audiobook of Gunther and loved every second of it with its atmospheric tension building all the way through.

Fantasic prequel

After reading My Pet Werewolf, I immediately felt the need to understand Gunther! This book gave me the backstory I needed! My only complaint is I wish it were longer

Great werewolf story

I am a longtime fan of a good werewolf story and this one hit the spot! It follows the change experienced by Dr. David Bixby after he is bitten by an ER patient. He slowly starts to feel very aggressive emotions, lashing out in anger and thinking about committing horrific deeds.

When he is approached by a man claiming to be a Police detective, he is told that he will soon turn into a werewolf! Of course, David thinks this is a bunch of garbage and continues on with his life. He soon learns the horrible truth and is not sure that he can deal with it. Will he truly lose control under the full moon or can he find a way to stop the urges he is feeling?

The story moves at a fast pace and I found myself feeling very sorry for the horrors visited on the innocent Doctor. There are a few graphic scenes of violence and s*x that some might find disturbing, but the author has done a great job with creating the perfect atmosphere for a werewolf tale.

The narrator did a fantastic job and his performance added a lot to this already terrific tale. I highly recommend this quick story to anyone looking for a great werewolf tale.

Great werewolf story …

Gunther is a well written werewolf story that is difficult to put down, I really enjoyed it. The characters were interesting and I was invested right from the beginning. This is a prequel to My Pet Werewolf, which I now plan on reading right away. In my opinion these books can be read in any order without giving anything away. If you enjoy horror I highly recommend this series. I am definitely looking forward to more from this author.

Be part of the change

Feel it…the transformation, you are acting abnormal, everything you do or say is so unlike yourself, what is going on? Is this a metaphorical story of unleashing the darkness inside you? Of dropping the goody two shoes facade and just giving into your carnal desires?
Naw man, this is a werewolf story and the beast inside you is coming.
This was a lot of fun, plus it seems to be the prequel to My Pet Werewolf which makes me want to run out and grab it.

Love this series!

Gunther by James Kaine

I’ve been looking forward to reading the next installment of My Pet Werewolf, and it definitely did not disappoint! This was a quick read / listen at 98 pages or just over 2 hours on audio. Tom Jordan does a fantastic job with the narration, as usual.

The story moves fast and keeps you hanging on until the last page of the epilogue. Give it a go and check out MPW too so you can get the full story!

Good Doctor into Evil Werewolf!

Already loving anything dealign with werewolves, this audiobook caught my attention immediately when I first saw it! Very glad that I brought this since I loved all the horror, gore, and brutality of the werewolf! I will say it started off slow and did not care for all the details prior to the werewolf massacre, but once that started, wished for more! Mr. Jordan did an outstanding job bringing this book to life! Loved his deep and at times, scary voice to match the theme of the book! Highly recommend checking this one out if you are looking for a bloody werewolf read!
