Appalachian Werewolf
Gunnar Jacobs is the son of a backwoods North Carolina snake handling preacher who rules his home and church with an iron fist. Nearing his eighteenth birthday, Gunnar is starting to feel the pull of something deep in his soul. Something that needs to come out, but something he's afraid to let out. After years of controlling abuse and religious trauma he just isn't good at freeing his inhibitions.
Lilith, the dark haired stripper from the local strip club, sees it in Gunnar's eyes, she's one too. Appalachian werewolves aren't as uncommon as you would think, they just don't want attention. She's determined to bring that other side of him out. Under the full moon by a river winding through Cherokee, North Carolina, Lilith will introduce him to a whole new world, discovering family secrets and generational curses along the way.
