Howl (2023)

Ivan and his family moved in with their grandpa in order to rally around his sick little brother, Eli, as he went through treatment. It’s not a bad change; Ivan and Eli love to sit outside and listen to the wolves howling from the woods. It’s calming. At least, until Eli disappears from his bed to go looking for them. Chasing after his brother brings Ivan face-to-face with a strange, wild, beautiful boy living in the forest with the wolves…and nothing will ever be the same.



Originally written in 2016 as part of the Take a Chance charity anthology, Howl has been re-written with a fresh perspective for 2023. This version is only available here and for Ream subscribers. It will not be available on any other sales platform.
