BLOOD MOON — Garry Kilworth

Blood Moon: a novella and eight standalone short stories from 'Arguably the finest writer of short fiction today, in any genre' (New Scientist). Scar, a lone grey wolf wandering the North Canadian plains, harbours a strange and burdensome secret which caused him to be banished from his pack. Now he must hide his grotesque affliction for as long as possible in the hope that he will find a new pack. He knows that as soon as it's discovered he will either be torn to pieces or ostracised again, yet his one hope of redemption is that this life-long burden might actually become a weapon to use against the ultimate enemy of all wolves. Also included in this volume: eight short stories of science fiction and fantasy, seven of which have never before been published.
