Synopsis
Ox was twelve when his daddy taught him a very valuable lesson. He said that Ox wasn’t worth anything and people would never understand him. Then he left.
Ox was sixteen when he met the boy on the road, the boy who talked and talked and talked. Ox found out later the boy hadn’t spoken in almost two years before that day, and that the boy belonged to a family who had moved into the house at the end of the lane.
Ox was seventeen when he found out the boy’s secret, and it painted the world around him in colors of red and orange and violet, of Alpha and Beta and Omega.
Ox was twenty-three when murder came to town and tore a hole in his head and heart. The boy chased after the monster with revenge in his bloodred eyes, leaving Ox behind to pick up the pieces.
It’s been three years since that fateful day—and the boy is back. Except now he’s a man, and Ox can no longer ignore the song that howls between them.

Review
Wolfsong
was my favorite book from 2016, and as I read more than 250 books,
that's saying something. As such, I knew going into this audiobook it
was going to take someone extraordinary to pull off the narration. To be
able to capture the atmosphere, the mysticism, the emotions that are in
Wolfsong from the first page until the last was going to take an extra
helping of talent and brilliance and I'm here to tell you that Kirt
Graves delivered all of this ... and then some. Each and every
character, and there are many, has a distinct voice, complete with
cadence and tone. Joe's high pitched, exuberance when he says "I was
all like rawr and grr but then I smelled it again and was him and it was
all kaboom! I don't even know! I don't even know! You gotta smell him
and then tell me why it's all candy canes and pinecones and epic and
awesome." Or steadfast, wise Thomas when he says, "Maybe," he said. "Or
more. You're different, Ox. I don't even think I know how different. It
will be truly a sight to behold. And I, for one, can't wait to see it."
And there's the incredible, unforgettable Oxnard Matheson. The book is
told from his point of view, so it's his voice we hear most often. And
oh my, what a voice it is. Graves conveys everything--hiis disbelief,
his anger, his wonder, his love ... all of it shines through Graves'
exemplary narration. Then there's the levity that Carter, Kelly, and
Rico bring, and the evil that is Richard and Osmond ... the
brother/father/friend in Gordo. Just all of it is magical. I was
transported to Green Creek from the first word and I never wanted to
leave.
