By Blood We Live: The Last Werewolf Trilogy III

By Glen Duncan

Remshi is used to people trying to drive a stake through his heart. He&#39;s been alive for twenty thousand years; it&#39;s going to happen. But other things are changing. These new assailants, for example, are quicker. And for the first time ever Remshi&#39;s sleep has brought dreams. And there&#39;s an aching gap in his memory that turns out to contain a werewolf (a werewolf?) to whom he is irresistibly drawn. This is not just any werewolf, though. It&#39;s Talulla Demetriou. The epic conclusion to the Bloodlines Trilogy throws Remshi and Talulla and their werewolves and vampires into a vat of new alliance and enmity and sex and gore, then stirs furiously with a sharpened stick. By Blood We Live takes Glen Duncan&#39;s gloriously written, adrenaline-charged horror homage to new heights. Glen Duncan was born in Bolton in 1965 and studied philosophy and literature at Lancaster University. His first novel, Hope, was published in 1997 and has been followed by seven further novels. I, Lucifer (2002) was shortlisted for the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize. His work has been translated into more than a dozen languages. He lives in London. textpublishing.com.au &#39;Duncan&#39;s consistently excellent writing, ensuring you&#39;re engaged...a handsome conclusion to a surprising body of work.&#39; Listener &#39;Some of the best passages evoke the sparkling bravura and energetic rhythm of Martin Amis&#39;s early novels.&#39; Weekend Australian &#39;A magnificent novel. A brutal, indignant, lunatic howl. A sexy, blood-spattered page-turner, beautifully crafted and full of genuine suspense, that tears the thorax out of the horror genre to create something that stands rapturous and majestic and entirely on its own.&#39; Nick Cave on The Last Werewolf &#39;Duncan delivers with intelligent humanity a monster we want to track and befriend, even knowing she would happily eat us alive...Duncan&#39;s throbbing, fornication-crazy plot defies easy encapsulation, but is best described as a gleeful three-way between Raymond Chandler&#39;s entire oeuvre, Anne Rice&#39;s vampire novels and Umberto Eco&#39;s Foucault&#39;s Pendulum...The arch relationship Duncan establishes with his readers - along with his scathingly intelligent psychological insights and flat-out killer writing, his companionably high-mannered narrative voice and his mad plot chops - makes Talulla Rising a high-calorie blast.&#39; New York Times Book Review
