SGJ is just next level. I wasnt even in the mood for this type of book currently but it was so compelling I just couldn't stop till I was done. The way he writes is both simple and wildly evocative. Hes excellent at capturing a feeling or action perfectly in as few words as possible. 
A really new take on werewolves. 
I wouldn't say it's scary like a horror movie but it's visceral and raw with horror elements.
