Another artsy horror novel. The synopsis for this one doesn't sound very good. I'd say go to the Amazon page and check it out:
The Beast in Aisle 34 by Darrin Doyle is $0.99 at Amazon US
Quote:
Sandy Kurtz has problems. He's got a baby on the way, his wife doesn't love him, and he's struggling to find passion or purpose at his big-box retail job. And, once a month, he turns into a werewolf.
In Darrin Doyle's deft hands, Sandy's story is a tall tale for our times, an absurd and darkly comedic take on toxic masculinity, small-town America, and the terror of not knowing who you are—or who you're capable of becoming.

This segment of a review does a better job selling the book:

It’s wonderful to see Doyle’s virtuoso talent for writing gore—sequences of violence and bloodbath elevated to such pitch perfect art—at work in this novel. But he’s also created a complex, restless man-beast, his protagonist, Sandy Kurtz. It’s pure pain-pleasure to witness Sandy’s struggle with identity and how it plays out in his marriage, friendships, and adversarial bonds. This novel is a rewarding read with its study of human failing, our faltering attempts at being ourselves, and stepping into one’s truth.
