"A fascinating and unique tale in an alternate reality where being human is a hindrance. Kit Whitfield has created an astonishing read."
--Sherrilyn Kenyon, author of the Dark-Hunter series "An impressive debut,
Benighted is a well-written and well-thought-out examination of prejudice as seen through the lens of the werewolf novel."
--Tananarive Due, author of Joplin's Ghost "Kit Whitfield has created a unique and powerful twist on the werewolf mythos, an eloquent parable about the profound effects of prejudice and violence on both perpetrator and victim.
Benighted will leave you thinking long after you've turned the last page."
--Susan Krinard, author of Touch of the Wolf
