Nick Stead’s first transformation is horrific, but it’s just the beginning. From that moment on, he seeks only to satisfy the insatiable hunger burning within, leaving a trail of death and carnage in his wake.
Battling new instincts, he tries to hide his lycanthropy from those he loves, but the call is strong, pulling him towards his darker desires and the constant urge to feed.

But his actions have not gone unnoticed, and the hunter becomes the hunted.
The Demon Slayers are closing in - an ancient order with a sacred oath to wipe out his kind, once and for all.
Can he balance the lupine urges raging within and find inner peace, or will he be destroyed as an abomination by those with the tools and knowledge to finish him?

Hybrid is the first book in the Hybrid series of werewolf horror novels by outstanding British author Nick Stead.

Books two, thee and four will follow later in 2020 as he releases the revised and enhanced second editions of this horrifying tale.

Fear and prejudice rules the dark world Nick Stead has been thrown into. His self-imposed isolation is harder than he ever imagined, and he craves his old life as an average teenager more than ever.

The cold and distant Lady Sarah is his only company, a vampire too old to remember the transition from human to monster. She can’t fill the void opening up within.

Nick's heart yearns for new friendship.
Without it, killing is all he has left.

But indulging that bloodlust comes at a high price – 
one that could cost him his sanity, or his life.


It’s no longer just the Slayers on his trail. Now a deadlier threat stalks the shadows, and Nick must settle his dual nature before it is too late.


There’s nowhere left to run…

But that’s just the start of the twisted torments in store for this fledgling werewolf.


He fears for Lady Sarah and Selina’s fate, but Nick must place his trust in new allies now, and rely on his feral animal cunning if he’s to have any hope of seeing them again.


His path is paved with blood and death, and trials worse than any he's faced before. He must be strong, for as his energy seeps away, time is running out.


Danger lurks around every corner, and if he is to escape this deadly trap, it will mean pushing himself beyond his limits and battling something truly horrifying.



Having decided to flee the UK and find refuge in the vast stretches of wilderness overseas, the last surviving werewolf and his unlikely pack find it’s not as easy as
simply jumping on a plane.


Nick will face some of his greatest challenges yet,
from the terror demon unleashed by the Slayers
to the harsh climate of the Arctic ice pack.

And then there’s the wolfish demon who’s taken an interest in him. Hard truths await – truths sure to torment him for years to come.

Nick dreams of freedom and a place among natural wolves, but Hell’s claws are already deep in his heart.
His fate may never be his own...


Damned is the fourth book in the Hybrid series of werewolf horror novels by outstanding British author Nick Stead.
