From The Publisher:
Come inside the mind of your best friend...Thor is a German shepherd living with a human family. He loves his family and takes his role as their protector seriously. But when Uncle Ted comes to stay, Thor finds his loyalties and instincts sorely tested. To Thor's sharp canine senses, Uncle Ted is clearly not entirely human. If the family could see and smell what Thor does, they'd realize Uncle Ted is in fact a werewolf, with an uncontrollable thirst for blood.Tense and suspenseful, moving and terrifying, Thor is an absolutely unique novel, riveting and unforgettable.

About the Author:
Wayne Smith was born in the Panama Canal Zone in 1948. He grew up in northern New Jersey, spent a year in Windham College (which no longer exists) in Putney, VT, where he "tuned in, turned on, and dropped out." He moved to San Francisco where he held several McJobs before beginning a brief career in radio, first as a disc-jockey, then a talk-show host (before talk radio became the partisan propaganda machine it is today), and finally a news reporter.
Covering and writing several news stories a day re-awakened his interest in writing, and he eventually left radio to write horror novels. By 1991, when THOR was published, the horror genre had all but shut down, and the market for adult horror became virtually non-existent.
