Full blurb:
You're the last. I'm sorry. The end is coming. For two centuries Jacob Marlowe has wandered the world, enslaved by his lunatic appetites and tormented by the memory of his first and most monstrous crime. Now, the last of his kind, he knows he can't go on. But as Jake counts down to suicide, a violent murder and an extraordinary meeting plunge him straight back into the desperate pursuit of life.

First page first lines:
''It's official,' Harley said. 'They killed the Berliner two nights ago. You're the last.' Then after a pause: 'I'm sorry.' Yesterday evening this was. We were in the upstairs library of his Earl's Court house, him standing at a tense tilt between stone hearth and oxblood couch, me in the window seat with a tumbler of forty-five year old Macallan and a Camel Filter.'

Reviews:
'Loaded with beautifully constructed lunatic ravings... A sublime study in literary elegance. It is bloody (and) brilliant.' – Independent
'Like an updated version of Dracula, only for werewolves, and as rewritten by Brett Easton Ellis.' – Guardian
'Duncan's monstrous narrator makes for memorably rambunctious company.' - TLS
'The Last Werewolf is written with such scandalous ferocity and such grizzly humour it feels like the literary equivalent of howling at the moon.' - Matt Haig
