If you are looking for a short and fun read that combines science fiction, horror, and comedy, you might want to check out Viking Werewolves from Mars by Sam Lang. This is the second installment in the A Ron Ungary Inconvenience series, which follows the misadventures of Ron Ungary, a practical man of science who always encounters strange and inconvenient situations.
In this story, Ron and his best friend Teddy are on a cross-country road trip. Their travels take them into the heart of a thousand year old curse. Ron has to ask: are werewolves real? And are they from Mars? Tight-fitting Halloween costumes and an assortment of Ron’s inventions will guarantee an explosive conclusion to the events at an isolated truck stop under a full moon.
The story is a one-shot of dark humor and science fiction, with a dash of Norse mythology and history. Lang writes with a witty and sarcastic tone, creating hilarious dialogues and situations. The characters are quirky and relatable, especially Ron, who is a rational and skeptical protagonist. The plot is fast-paced and unpredictable, with twists and turns that will keep you entertained and amused.
The story is also a homage to the classic werewolf genre, with references to famous movies and books. Lang adds his own twist to the lore, making the werewolves from Mars and giving them a connection to the Viking invaders of England. The story also explores the themes of friendship, loyalty, and courage, as Ron and Teddy face the dangers and mysteries of the night.
The story is a short read, only 26 pages long, but it packs a lot of action and humor. It is a standalone story, so you don’t need to read the first book in the series, Theoretical Fishsticks, to enjoy it. However, if you like this story, you might want to check out the other books in the series, which feature more of Ron’s inconveniences, such as alien zombies, waspiders, and paradoxes.
