The Howling II [1] is a 1979 horror novel by Gary Brandner. It is the first of two sequels to his 1977 werewolf novel, The Howling. The novel was later republished under the alternative titles The Howling II: The Return and Return of the Howling.
Despite the ongoing film series that began in the 1980s, The Howling II was not adapted as a film and bears no similarities to the sequel Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf (1985) or any of the other Howling films. The eighth film The Howling: Reborn (2011) credits the book as the source of its story, but bears no resemblance to it other than being a story about werewolves.
