Mark Mulle - 2016
     Book 4: Night Monsters After six long months, the wolf Boris is back with his new diary. He went on a journey with his wife Susi, his cubs Tasha and Lobo, and his friends Elly and Oopa. The human Steve is his owner, and together, they saved four villages from countless Zombie attacks who were controlled by the Zombie Leader. The group rescued the Leader from the Zombies and defeated the Ender Dragon, weakening the Zombie Hordes and putting an end to their attacks. When everything was peaceful again, new events startled the inhabitants of this peaceful world. New hordes of night monsters have been acting weird – walking in lines, spawning in great numbers, and obeying an invisible master. At one point, some of the villages are attacked by the monsters, which should not happen since only Zombies naturally attack villagers. Unaware of what or who could be behind this, Steve, his wolves and the village leaders Hori, his brother Kozu, Kami, Boko and Sole want to find out what is going on. Everyone is afraid to deal with hordes once again, but this time it won’t be as simple as before.
