Wolf Mountain: A Werewolf Novel of Haiti

In the tent cities of Haiti, beneath the light of the full moon, a howl cuts through the night. Something ancient has come down from the mountains…to feed. Back in New Jersey, ASHER GREENE spots an item in the paper about werewolf attacks in Haiti. In a desperate effort to jumpstart his career in journalism – and his life – he flies to Port-au-Prince on his own dime to cover the story. Fate throws him into Haiti just as “Baby Doc” Duvalier is returning from exile, giving Greene the scoop of his lifetime.

His success in Haiti now assured, Asher Greene pursues the werewolf story with the help of COCO BERNARD, his Haitian-American guide and translator. He expects to write a simple story on native superstitions. Instead, the killings continue. Bodies are ripped apart by the light of the full moon. They follow a trail that leads to the chimeres – the deadly Haitian gangs freed by the earthquake. And, behind it all, the legend of the jé-rouge – the Haitian werewolf. Greene pursues the story to disprove the legend but is instead led into a world of sorcery and the occult.

"Wolf Mountain's central protagonist discovers what we foreign correspondents all dream of uncovering in the most perilous and exotic locations – an extraordinary, untold story that defies all we think we know about our world and what we understand of humanity, that unexpectedly turns life and our belief systems on their heads. In a refreshing setting for the lycanthrope genre, author JR Pinto places his pacy novel in the edgy and transformational melée of post-earthquake Haiti … viscerally more fearsome than Twilight's forests of Forks, Washington or the grey, gothic streets of Underworld." -- Dominic Di-Natale, Fox News Channel
