Terovolas by Edward M. Erdelac 

Following the events of Bram Stoker’s DRACULA, Professor Abraham Van Helsing checks himself into Jack Seward’s Purfleet Asylum suffering from violent recurring fantasies stemming from his confrontation with the count’s vampiric brides. Upon his release he volunteers to bear the remains and personal effects of Quincey Morris back to the Morris family ranch in Texas.

Van Helsing finds Quincey’s brother Cole embroiled in an escalating land dispute with an outfit of Norwegian cattle ranchers led by the enigmatic Sig Skoll. When people start turning up viciously murdered, Van Helsing suspects a preternatural culprit. Is a shapechanger loose on the Texas Plains or is a murderous cult of wolf worshippers responsible? Have the delusions of his previously disordered mind returned? The professor must decide soon, for the life of Skoll’s beautiful new bride may hang in the balance…
