    My favorite part of Lonesome Days, Savage Nights is that the door is left wide open for more stories. The book is subtitled "The Manning Files Volume 1". so I certainly hope we get to see more from this werewolf private detective. If his future cases are anything like this, we're in for a treat, although I do have to wonder what pushes him on after he achieves his vengeance. Will he lose his edge? Even if we never get more from this world, this stands on its own as a solid, terrifying tale from beginning to end. It's like a werewolf version of Hard Boiled. Read Full Review
