Frostbite (Wellington novel)

Frostbite is a horror novel by American writer David Wellington, published in serial online in July, 2006 and in print in 2009.

The novel opens with Cheyenne "Chey" Clarke parachuting into the wilds of Alberta, provisioned with extensive hiking supplies, most of which are immediately lost.

Chey is soon attacked by a werewolf (it is indicated to the reader that the creature is obviously not a normal wolf), but survives with only a scratch, which is enough to curse her with lycanthropy.

The lupine form is similar to a normal wolf, but significantly stronger and more aggressive, bearing an intense hatred of humans.

Werewolves are also apparently immortal, as a dead werewolf (in either form) will return to life with the next change, unless silver is employed to kill it.

Since Monster Nation takes place at an earlier date than events in Frostbite, this clearly cannot be precisely the same character, but an alternate world version of him.
