SNAFU: Wolves at the DoorEnglish Edition – Kindle – SNAFU (Book 3)The name says it all! From ancient cultures to modern laboratories and throughout war – as the moon comes out so do the wolves.This anthology contains 9 Stories of excellent military horror, each story with its own unique approach to the subject. It is in the nature of a short story, that the author doesn’t have much time to introduce the characters. The writers in this anthology solved this issue in an exemplary manner. Each char...
Worth it for the Moore story aloneGiving this 5 stars because the James Moore novella at the end just did it for me. Pretty damn good.
This was a wonderful collection overall, however uneven in quality and content type it was. One thing that was consistent: every story had at least one werewolf, most of which were bad news for humans. That's about all that tied these stories together. The stories in the first half of the book tended to have a stronger military component in them than the stories in the last half. The stories in the first half also tended to be shorter. Breaking them down one by one:"Taking Down the Top Cat"R.P.L...
The Wild Hunt made the book.This series is amazing. Every time I pick up a SNAFU I know I'm gonna be spending some quality time with a good book. Flat out, the wild hunt needs to be a freaking movie.
A fast paced horror that doesn't have an angsty teenager in sight. This is a book that will keep you turning pages as you explore each story, all different, all brilliant, as you shudder in fear and wonder if that is a noise downstairs...Certainly clever, great characters, even better monsters. The wolves are certainly beating down the door!
Disclaimer: This book was one of many I read as a judge for the 2015 Aurealis Awards. This review is my personal opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of any judging panel, the judging coordinator or the Aurealis Awards management team.Short review: consistent, but only in being uninspiring and icky. Unlike the previous SNAFU anthology I had read, where I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of writing, this just failed. There are so many interesting things that could be done w...
When the silvery rays of the moon come down to Earth, there is the first trembling of anticipation felt deep within the bones. Every last shred of will power is exerted in pushing down that dreaded feel and to stamp on its head and yet like an unrelenting nemesis, it rises within the body spreading its tentacles over every cell. Bones rearrange, skin transforms to fur, teeth start changing into fangs and finally what emerges from the throat is a primal howl that strikes fear in human minds. SNAF...
Fun readGot a little tiresome with the same monster in each story, but the variations kept them interesting. The last story was superb.
Anthology books always have an uphill battle. Even if you check and double check the stories, make sure they're all top-notch and of the finest quality, some stories just aren't going to suit everyone. That is the very nature of these collections.I'm not gonna go through the whole thing and give my opinion on all the stories, that'd take too long. I'll just say that overall I came away from this a bit disappointed. The first SNAFU was uneven but I still remember some stories fondly, such as the
Review copyG. N. Braun at Cohesion Press has discovered a formula for anthology gold. It all began in August of 2014 with the release of the original SNAFU anthology. The idea was to combine a military story with horror. In the original there were all kinds of monsters, then in November we were given SNAFU: Heroes, again with a wide variety of monsters. I loved both books and are both still available for purchase.This time, it's SNAFU: Wolves at the Door. The overall idea is the same, military s...
Still Fantastic!I read this anthology last year. Just for the love of it. I’ve just read it again for my werewolf group. And just for the love of it.Since I first read this book a year ago, I’ve become familiar with some of the authors in this anthology, such as: W.D. Gigliani, David Benton, and David W. Amendola.The SNAFU books are militaries, so most of the stories here focus on werewolves fighting during WWII. Against the Nazis, of course. Or for them.This book is every werewolf lover’s dream...
Good group of stories if you are into werewolves. Scary, suspenseful stories written by some of the best in the horror field.
In the interest of disclosure, I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.SNAFU has become a series of military horror books about which I look forward to hearing news of new releases. This book had me doubly excited. A proven series dealing with the subject of my favorite sort of creature, the lycanthrope.The stories were consistent throughout the volume, though this time the spectrum seemed a bit more widespread, from military horror in the more accep...
They had some good, short stories. I would've rated it a 4-star book, but I've never been big into werewolves.
I've been enjoying the SNAFU series and usually like (non-romantic) werewolf fiction, but the stories in this volume, while all good, began to feel a bit samey. The best were the first ("Taking Down the Top Cat" by RPL Johnson) and last stories (James A Moore's "The Wild Hunt"). Good stuff, but maybe take it in sensible bites rather than consuming the whole thing at once.
I think that I am on the fourth installment in the SNAFU collection of anthologies, maybe fifth, but anyway its obvious I am addicted and enjoying them. With this latest one however, I am not giving it five stars without finding fault. The first two stories I had actually read before in different SNAFU anthologies (or it might have been the Sampler), so I breezed over those to get to the new material. Note, however if 'Wolves' is the first book you delve into then you will not have this issue. I...
Reader beware, I will be reviewing each short story in this anthology. There will be spoilers.This book is about what I expect from a SNAFU book: Great Horror Stories, authors with a sense of the dramatic and the macabre. I was a little disappointed that the stories didn't follow in the same vein of being military horror fiction that the other two were--however something refreshing every now and then is a good thing.Taking Down the Top Cat by R.P.L. Johnson:WOW! This was just plain awesome. It w...
Not my type of bookI really tried but I don't really care for short stories like this. I expected something different which it truly was but no real plots. The ending really didn't end right.
