'And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?'
It is from these famous lines of William Butler Yeats' 'The Second Coming' that Gary Goshgarian [Gary Braver] derives his title for this provocative novel.
Rough Beast, set in a small town in Massachusetts, is a thriller in the tradition of Stephen King and Dean Koontz, combined with the scientific underpinnings of Michael Crichton. The elements of horror and suspense and intrigue reinforce one another in a many layered tale that ultimately brings the boundaries of nature into question. Gary Goshgarian [Gary Braver] has crafted a novel that plumbs the depths of genetic engineering, a powerful force that can be used for good or evil. Rough Beast explores the consequences of a genocidal experiment gone wrong and its effects on as normal, unsuspecting American familyespecially on its twelve-year-old son, Matty.

'Various mayhem, strange animal behaviors, a shadowy hit-man, and a secret Vietnam-era project are thrown into the cauldron. It's all fun, and Goshgarian can propel the plot and reader forward.' -The Washington Post
'The prose here sings and the characters are multi-dimensional. . . This cunning, deft novel keeps the pages turning without sacrificing style for story.' --The Tab Community Newspapers
