The Beast in Aisle 34
ByPublisher Description
Sandy Kurtz has problems. He's got a baby on the way, his wife doesn't love him, and he's struggling to find passion or purpose at his big-box retail job. And, once a month, he turns into a werewolf.
In Darrin Doyle's deft hands, Sandy's story is a tall tale for our times, an absurd and darkly comedic take on toxic masculinity, small-town America, and the terror of not knowing who you are—or who you're capable of becoming.
Join us on the trip. Feel the power of the full moon as it turns you into a carnivore capable of ruling the wilds of rural Michigan. Taste the rich blood of a pulsing animal heart; feel it cascade down your face as you transform into what you always wanted to be. Enter...the wolf.

“This book was given to me as a birthday present and I have to say I’m very pleased with it! This is exactly what I look for in the strange, weird-girl fiction sub-genre. Very fun! Considering adding it to my all time favorites!”

“Bored Michigan man becomes werewolf in an accident and goes on a wild ride for a few months before not finishing what he had set out to do. It's better than this generic description but you'll have to read it to find out where it is better.”ashley8835

“A very good and quick read. I was not sure how it would be, but by the 2nd chapter I was along for the ride. if you are a fan of werewolf fan this is a book to add to your collection. It has some lighter parts that help keep it all together.”
