The Nightwalker
About this book
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.
