Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on books I've enjoyed. It's AAPI Heritage month and I would be remiss on featuring my all time favorite werewolf novel, Moon Dance by SP Somtow. Moon Dance Set in 1900's America, this is an immersive read that delves not only into the European lore of the werewolf, but indigenous werewolf lore. The combination of the two make for one of the most brilliantly written werewolf stories ever. As soon as I started readi

A Lonely Broadcast By Kel Byron I listened to this on Audible and it was fantastic, with Multiple narrators, and a fully produced soundscape. This is a creature feature story, built around a perfect blend of survival horror meets small town horror. The story follows a young woman, Evelyn, as she begins a new job as a radio DJ back in her hometown of Pine Haven. The radio station itself is a rickety old fire watch tower, built fifty feet up and set at the edge of town, where t
