1999 Synopsis
Daniel Mason was an eighteen-year-old boy who epitomized
faithfulness and virtue. He was loved by all of his friends and neighbors, and he was the pride of his family.
Daniel practiced his Christian faith to the letter, even sometimes at the cost of a relationship. Some might
have said that he was righteous to a fault, but Daniel didn't see things that way at all. As far as Daniel
was concerned, there was nothing that could come between him and his faith,and, without fail, God would always
take care of him. Daniel believed himself to be invincible beneath his shield of fervent Christian loyalty.
Everything changed when Daniel's friend Trevor found a beaker full of blood in the church basement. A beaker
full of blood that had been collecting dust for nearly fourteen decades; hiding in the shadows for all that
time, along with the darkest secret that the small town of Nightfire, Texas had ever dared to keep. It was a secret
that would forever cast its shadow over Daniel Mason's path. A secret that would turn all of Daniel's one-time
faith into morbid doubt and perennial questioning. It was a secret that would thrust faithful Daniel towards
a spiritual precipice the likes of which he'd never dreamt possible. It would strip him of his innocence,
and it would leave him crying with questions to a seemingly apathetic God; hidden from him beyond the brightness
of the full moon. For once this secret had taken hold of Daniel and his friends, the long dead blood of the
werewolf would
quicken once again in Nightfire, Texas.
In the captivating novel Cry, Wolf,
Glenn Clark pens a supernatural saga of friendship, tragedy, faith, doubt and the unrelenting internal war
that all people of faith must wage within themselves, in times of crisis, in order to reconcile religion
with reality. It is a saga at the center of which stalks a shadowy werewolf, voracious and malevolent, who is ironically carried
into existence through the purest intentions of a young man who would do no conscious wrong.
