  • In an atmosphere of sheer unbridled terror, two police officers stalk and are stalked by unnamed enemies---enemies too ugly and savage to be human, too clever and deliberate to be animal.
    The Wolfen: Shrouded in darkness and sheltered in urban wreckage , they have preyed upon man for centuries , evolving into an ever more sophisticated, cunning race. Only Homicide Detectives Becky Neff and George Wilson are convinced of the existence of the Wolfen. Their knowledge, instinctive, visceral, and horrifying beyond comprehension, binds them together as they pursue a relentless quest to destroy this savage, faceless evil.

    The majority of these audiobooks, which were converted from audio cassette tapes into digital Mp3 files are over 30 years old. Some of the cassette tapes had to be taken apart and spliced back together, which can be a very delicate procedure. Just a little something I thought I would do so I could salvage these particular works and share these with others before the tapes and tape players deteriorated completely and before the world of analog recording becomes completely obsolete. Most are not true books because they are abridgements. When I first started collecting these audiobooks, unabridged books on tape were either very rare or extremely costly. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and visit.

    Great story. Roddy McDowall's narration takes the story to next level creepy. Yikes !!!! I remember watching the 1981 movie starring Albert Finney. Pretty good movie. 👍👍👍🐺🐺🐺🐺

    I picked up the book on a supermarket rack when I was 16. I think I read it in one sitting. It made quite an impression.
    I'm looking forward to hearing it performed by "Cornelius/Galen" himself!

    Echo the earlier comments. Fantastic audiobook! The Albert Finney movie is a sleeper classic, but I like the book better. Roddy McDowell's performance is great. Thanks for uploading!
