Gregory Lamberson has unveiled the covers for his next two novels from Medallion Press, The Frenzy Wolves and Human Monsters. Both are the final chapters of their respective franchises, The Frenzy Cycle and The Jake Helman Files.
The Frenzy Wolves, which will be published in October, is the third book in author/filmmaker Lamberson’s The Frenzy Cycle werewolf trilogy, in which a New York police captain navigates conflict among opposing factions of werewolves and werewolf hunters in the age of terrorism.
Synopsis:
With the aid of his elite squad of super cops, NYPD Captain Tony Mace has defeated the werewolf slayers known as the Brotherhood of Torquemada. But now a new enemy has risen to persecute the peaceful Wolves, and Tony’s loyalty to Gabriel Domini, leader of the pack, places him at odds with his department.
Gabriel’s brother, Raphael, objects to Gabriel’s efforts to integrate the Wolves into human society and seeks to start a war against mankind. When Rodrigo Gomez, the Full Moon Killer, escapes from prison, his quest for vengeance draws Tony into a battle for supremacy among the Wolves which could lead to a far greater war for both species.
Human Monsters, due out in March 2015, is the sixth and last book in the award-winning occult detective series The Jake Helman Files, which began with Personal Demons back in 2009.
“It’s bittersweet to finish each series,” says Lamberson. “The Frenzy books are based on a screenplay I wrote in 1986 called The Greenwich Village Monster, and I created Jake Helman in a screenplay called The Forever Man that same year, so these characters have been with me a long time. I have more stories to tell about Jake, but for now this is the end of his literary adventures.”
Lamberson, who is currently adapting his zombie novella Carnage Road into a screenplay for actor Craig Sheffer, is also developing The Jake Helman Files as a possible TV series with David Tripet, who worked on such films as Leprechaun, Wishmaster, and Return of the Living Dead III as a development executive.
“Now that I’ve written six novels, the template exists for an edgy cable TV series,” Lamberson says. “These books have all the sex, violence, and supernatural characters to make a great serialized show.”
No synopsis is available for Human Monsters yet, but we’ll keep our eyes open for that along with more news on the possible TV show.
