Reader Reviews of Cat’s Blood:

“Authentic, rich, and disarmingly absorbing . . . . What feels indispensable about Dupont’s work is the ability to let me inhabit his character’s space.” -Glimmerglass Readers’ Society

“Dupont surrenders to narrative risks, and wins every time . . . . This work will survive for decades because of its enduring appeal to something fundamental about our human nature.” -Iconic (2021 review)

“I picked this up thinking I'd probably get a quarter of the way through it and then it'd sit on my bookshelf like so many other books I start and never finish. Was I ever wrong!” -Amazon Review, Ozark, MO

“This is an incredibly well-written story. There's a level of character development, depth and a kind of charm that makes it something more than just your typical horror novel.” -Amazon Review, Nelly

“I was walking my dog through the woods in the dark the other morning and I began thinking of one scene in particular from this book . . . . One sign of a good horror story is when ghosts within the book start to manifest as ghosts outside of the book as well. This book is well worth the money and well worth the read.” -Amazon Review, Brandon M

Reader Reviews of Wichita Pass:

“This has become one of my favorite werewolf/creature books. It was so great, I had trouble putting it down. The characters are so very real and well developed. I liked the depth of the storyline and the way the suspense built up into full-blown terror.” -Amazon Review

“Terrific at building realistic settings… with believable [dialogue] and straightforward exposition… Dupont provides his readers ingenious, legendary, complex stories, tales of individual creatures and fear of the unknown…” -Glimmerglass Readers’ Society

“I like creature tales. Unfortunately, in many of them, there is just little character development. Mr. Dupont writes a believable story and writes so well that the reader becomes immersed in the tale. There is no filler. Mr. Dupont could write in any genre, but I'm happy he chose mine! ☺” -Amazon Review

“Fabulous werewolf story, very different from most. I really enjoyed it and caught myself looking out the window at the dark many times with a shiver up my spine. I take that as a sign that I am reading a terrific horror story. Will look for more from this wonderful author.” -Goodreads Review
