Werewolves on the Run: Nosetouch Press Releases Norm, the Finale to the Wolfshadow TrilogyNosetouch Press announces the third and final volume of the Wolfshadow Trilogy in the horror-thriller, Norm. “Norm picks up where The Happening left off, only eight years later,” said D. T. Neal, author of the series. “I wanted to get back to this story and wrap things up for the characters. With the pandemic and lockdown going on, the time felt right to get this story out there.” “It’s been ten years since the first of the series, Saamaanthaa, came out, and we’re excited to see where Norm takes us,” said Christine Scott, creative director and co-publisher of Nosetouch Press. “Since Saamaanthaa was the first book we published at Nosetouch back in 2011, we’re looking forward to revisiting that world again.” “I am a big fan of werewolves,” Neal said. “They’re inherently fun to write about, even though they’re always messy, both in terms of how they behave and also in terms of trying to keep them alive in a story. Not easy. I’d like to think that Norm will bring readers of the series satisfying closure on that world and the characters within it.” “The Wolfshadow Trilogy follows several characters over the course of eight years since the start of the series with Saamaanthaa,” said D.T. Neal, author of the series. “The Happening ended on a cliffhanger and I felt an obligation to get to a satisfying conclusion for readers of the series.” “We’re thrilled to be doing new cover designs for the books,” said Christine Scott, creative director and co-publisher of Nosetouch Press. “I’m confident that readers will understand and appreciate the werewolves in this trilogy. There are a lot of new characters, as well as ones from the first two books. And the new designs really bring out the werewolf aspect of the fiction.” It’s been eight years since Zooey’s lycanthropic insurrection—known as the Happening—broke out across the country. Werewolves are everywhere and nowhere at once, ignored and disregarded by the media and officially denied by the government. Norm Stockwell, an elite, paranormal counterinsurgency agent, is desperate to reclaim his former life in the face of the ongoing lycanthropic epidemic. Working with members of the secret society of the Synowie Srebra, Norm hunts down the ever-elusive Ansel Rupino in an effort to put an end to the Happening once and for all. All that stands in his way are highly organized pack-gangs of Lupines who prowl the bloody streets of Chicago by the light of the moon, in their relentless, instinctive search for prey. The Wolfshadow Trilogy by D.T. Neal features three werewolf novels, SAAMAANTHAA, THE HAPPENING, and NORM. Starting with a fateful interaction with the werewolf, Ansel Rupino, the title character of SAAMAANTHAA becomes infected with lycanthropy, which she eventually sees as a means of unique artistic expression. This view causes chaos, bloodshed, and death in her life, particularly among her closest friends. It also leads to the infection of Zooey Hummel, who gleefully starts a lycanthropic insurrection in THE HAPPENING. Her infectious revolution tears through both Chicago and the country at large, eventually reaching a climax in NORM, where vicious lycanthropic factions secretly vie for power and influence in a world ravaged by the Lupine epidemic, and Ansel fights for redemption for all the trouble he’s caused, while the title character seeks to end the lycanthropic epidemic for good. The Wolfshadow Trilogy runs wildly in a world of darkly comic horror, scathing social commentary, pop-cultural references, and horror-thriller territory that will dazzle both casual readers and thrill fans of werewolf fiction everywhere.
