Growing up in the vibrant socialite scene of 1960s London, Sarah finds fitting in to be more than a little difficult, so when she discovers that she may not be entirely human, her social life—and appetite—only gets stranger in Wolfsong. With Amanda Prantera's novel making its US debut on Tapas today, we've been provided with an exclusive excerpt and new cover reveal for the book to share with Daily Dead readers.

Synopsis: "When nineteen-year-old Sarah receives an invitation to a society ball from a notorious aristocratic socialite, she assumes there must have been some mistake. What could Nico, the belle of swinging 60s London, want with Sarah, a secretary with a checkered past? Yet Nico says she has sniffed Sarah out for a reason. Like Nico herself, she thinks Sarah is not quite human, but rather a wolf and a woman trapped in the same body. Bound together by their shared animalistic natures, the two girls descend together into a dream-world of louche parties, country estates, Italian noblemen and increasingly dark pursuits. When Nico disappears one freezing winter, Sarah is left to make her way on her own."

Author bio: "Amanda Prantera was born and educated in East Anglia. Aged 19 she went for a week's holiday in Italy and has lived there ever since. Her works have been widely acclaimed and translated and include Capri File, Don Giovanna, Mohawk's Brood, and Sabine.
