Book excerpt: The author of The Reformed Vampire Support Group turns her talents to shapeshifters of the furry kind in this howling good read. When Tobias Richard Vandevelde wakes up in a hospital with no memory of the night before, his horrified mother tells him that he was found unconscious. At Featherdale Wildlife Park. In a dingo pen. He assumes that his two best friends are somehow responsible, until the mysterious Reuben turns up, claiming that Toby has a rare and dangerous “condition.” Next thing he knows, Toby finds himself involved with a strange bunch of sickly insomniacs who seem convinced he needs their help. It’s not until he’s kidnapped and imprisoned that he starts to believe them—and to understand what being a paranormal monster really means. “The satire isn’t all that’s biting in this darkly comedic sequel to The Reformed Vampire Support Group . . . Jinks has a few other surprises in store too.” —Kirkus Reviews “Jinks has hold of a clever idea and a solid sense of humor.” —Publishers Weekly
