A Hunter Called Night

Q: Do I have to buy the ebook to participate in a book club?

No, you don’t have to buy the ebook to participate, but we do recommend it to get the most out of your club. There are several premium social reading features that are only available when you buy the ebook, like annotations, reactions, comment threads, resources, discussion prompts, and more, all embedded right in the text. It’s a unique and immersive way to read.

Q: Why can’t I buy the ebook on the app?

It’s annoying, we know. App store rules prevent us from selling directly in the app, so for now you can only purchase ebooks on our website. Don’t worry: when you purchase an ebook on the web, it’s automatically added to your bookshelf in the app.

Q: How is Fable’s reader different from Kindle?

Kindle is a straightforward e-reader; Fable is an interactive e-reader that includes social features inside the ebooks. When you read an ebook on Fable, you can see and react to the text with others in real time. Start a discussion, share highlights and quotes, add emoji reactions—all of it lives right inside the book. It’s hard to explain and easy to see, so we recommend reading the free sample in one of our most active clubs to get a feel for it.

Q: Do you sell physical books too?

We do not sell physical books at this time. Wish we did? Let us know why here!

Q: Are book clubs free to join on Fable?

Most of our clubs are completely free to join. The only exceptions are clubs marked as “Premium” or “Career Development,” which do require a fee. You can find out more on each club’s detail page.

Q: How do I start a book club with this book on Fable?

The first step is to download the Fable app. From there, you’ll be able to create your own private or public book club and invite others to read with you. Once your club is created, click on the plus sign under “Currently reading” and search for this book to add it to your club.

By Tim Waggoner

Publisher Description

If you enjoyed Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix or Authority by Jeff Vandermeer, then you'll love this latest horror novel from the Bram Stoker award-winning author Tim Waggoner.

A sinister being called Night and her panther-like Harriers stalk their quarry, a man known only as Arron. Arron seeks refuge within an office building, a place Night cannot go, for it’s part of the civilized world, and she’s a creature of the Wild. To flush Arron out, she creates Blight, a reality-warping field that slowly transforms the building and its occupants in horrible and deadly ways. But unknown to Night, while she waits for the Blight to do its work, a group of survivors from a previous attempt to capture Arron are coming for her. The hunter is now the hunted.

“I was pretty enthused to read A Hunter Called Night, Tim Waggoner is one of those authors who rides the line between fantasy and horror and usually gives you something unique to read as a result. Night is definitely true to the fantasy meets horror themes of Waggoner's work, This one being something of a late night movie premise like Full Moon Features might make in one of their more fantasy centered films. If you're looking for something with lots of characters, a unique premise, and fairly short length this certainly fits the bill. However, this also means that if you're more of a fan of depth of plot and rich character development you might not be as satisfied as you hoped. This is definitely more of a quick popcorn plot, not necessarily a bad thing if you want something fun and simple, mind you, just not quite what I was hoping for personally. I like the idea of a mysterious hunter and a group of random folks being pulled into the hunt, but I found myself feeling like maybe I would have gotten more from the resulting book if it had been more fleshed out and the characters had felt more grounded in their identities, particularly with the personality shift that came over them when the blight changed them. Sure, the blight corrupts, but would it so thoroughly change them that they'd become flatter as well as bring out these baser instincts? Would they not have some internal conflicts about this, especially if they were fairly decent people beforehand? We have a bit of this with some of our core characters but not with most of the other characters. It really could have grounded the horror a bit more and helped us to understand the corruption and it's effects. This seemed to be especially true of the male characters, who were more likely to flip into sexual and murderous mode no matter who they were or appeared to be before the night's effects took over. This made sense with some characters, but others made this shift with no regard for who they were and this was disconcerting- in fact, this coupled with some of the female characters being stereotypically bitchy and manipulative made the book more difficult to read. I would have preferred to know a bit more about the hunt, the world Night and her Harriers come from, and some deeper ideas about why the hunt happens. I'm not entirely certain the ending quite fit the characters as presented either. The reveal and battle could've used a lot more detail to stick the landing for me too. All that being said, I don't think this book is necessarily going to be an issue for everyone. If you want something you can pick up and enjoy in a fairly short amount of time this would be right for you, especially if you're in the mood for something of a B movie.”

“***NetGalley Review*** This book is a masterpiece of contained chaos and I loved every page! I was reminded of a movie where we’re introduced to a group of strangers who through a series of seriously demented and unfortunate events become intertwined in a web of weirdness. Each chapter introduces either a new character of another piece to the fantastical puzzle from hell. You get a hint of a heist story but with werewolves, vampires, and blobs. Oh yeah, and a big a$$ bear! The writing is straightforward and fluid making for a quick and easy read. There are several grammatical errors, not a ton, but I definitely hope an editor can fix them before the official release. 10/10 would recommend Follow on Twitter @ReadWatchDNF”

My imagination went wild with this book. I did like blight and night. I loved the names. Different. I will definitely be reading more from this author. 5*.”
