'''''The Howling''''' is a 1977 horror novel by [[Gary Brandner]]. It was the inspiration for the 1981 film ''[[The Howling (film)|The Howling]]'', although the plot of the film departed significantly from that of the book.
Brandner wrote two sequels to the novel, ''[[The Howling II (novel)|The Howling II]]'' in 1978 and''[[The Howling III (novel)|The Howling III]]'' in 1985. Neither sequel was used as the basis for any of the subsequent Howling films. ''[[Howling IV: The Original Nightmare]]'' made in 1988 is the closest adaptation of Brandner's original 1977 Howling novel.
