Talulla Rising

Talulla Rising plunges the magnificent co-protagonist of The Last Werewolf into an adrenaline-charged solo quest, a race against time torecover her lost child. Along the way Talulla crosses paths with a psychotic new WOCOP leader, an unlikely human love, blood-drinking religious fantatics, a pack of London werewolves and (rumour has it) the oldest remaining vampire on earth.

This second instalment in Glen Duncan’s werewolf trilogy pushes the were-myth further into uncharted territory with the definitive twenty-first-century female of the species. Gory and sexy, Talulla Rising is a thrilling take on our relationship with the wildside from a highly regarded literary novelist.

The final book, By Blood We Live, will be published by Text in 2013.

Praise for Talulla Rising:

‘Duncan’s page-turning plot is another wild, gory delight. Talulla is wry, sexy, intelligent and funny as she comes to terms with her homicidal bent and shamelessly sticks her bloody snout into our basest desires. And when she’s not breaking taboos, she’s killing bad guys and being a really good mother.’

Adelaide Advertiser

‘In this day and age we take our love stories where we find them and this, despite the gore and atrocities, is most definitely a love story as well as the endless search for the triumph of good over unbelievable evil.’

Sunday Star Times

‘Gory, sexy, dirty, funny and intensely gripping… highly recommended.’

Illawarra Mercury

‘Lovers of the paranormal will delight in his cleverness and sly humour which lets us know that he’s not taking it too seriously.’

Courier Mail

‘Part fantasy, part romantic tragedy and a surreal adventure and highly recommended.’

Daily Telegraph

‘Duncan’s novel is that rare and wonderful creature, literary horror. The werewolf tale might not possess the potent charge of the vampire story, but Duncan shows us just how vital it can be.’
