Blooding Night

By: Tim Curran

Narrated by: Rob Saladino

Four girls lost in the big, bad woods. Four girls hunted by primeval monsters. Four girls trapped in a deadly, ancient ritual of sacrifice. To stay alive until dawn will mean using every scrap of instinct and skill they possess. Civilization no longer exists for them. They must become just as bloodthirsty and predatory as the creatures that stalk them.

Only one can survive. The most cunning one. Only she can be the bride of Blooding Night....

werewolf survival horror

Only one can survive the night!

“Blooding Night,” by Tim Curran, is an epic werewolf story. Curran put a fresh spin on the overused trope by writing a survival story that opens with women being held captive. Wow! The claustrophobic feeling, in the beginning is intense from page on. The reader experiences the character's fear, panic, and confusion.

Curran tells the reader about each girl's journey of survival. The author gave each charcoal an inner monologue to express the desire to escape. Some of the characters journey’s became repetitive. They all
seemed to overcome similar challenges. The author weaves the backstory into the narrative without feeling like an informational dump.

The story slowly and consistently escalated at a steady pace. As Blooding Night progresses, the story becomes visceral and violent. All the build-up comes to a satisfying ending.

“Blooding Night” is a unique, well-written werewolf story.
