Undertaker's Moon by Ronald Kelly

Undertaker's Moon
by Ronald Kelly
Originally Moon of the Werewolf
1991 Zebra

6367733

An ancient Irish werewolf family moves to Tennessee, where they intend to live in peace, only feasting on buried corpses when the moon is full.  The teenage son wants more, and recruits two drug dealing brothers to gather victims.  The werewolves are opposed by a coalition of the town horror nerd, a football player, gun store owner, and bagpipe playing hobo.

Fun stuff, appropriately gory, has a bit of a Salem's Lot/Fright Night/Lost Boys vibe, but for werewolves.  I listened to the Audible version - slow talkers usually annoy me, but the reader's gentle drawl was appropriate for the story.  No padding in the story, and if anything I'd have like to have seen more of the werewolf hillbilly drug dealers, but 15 hours is a bit of an investment for me.
