Could somebody please explain this?

Every time I look up Werewolf images in Google they show this other stuff called: Werewolf The Foresaken. Does anybody on CAA know what this is?

Why must we be abandoned in times of need?
Do others not see when we yearn for their touch;
An insatiable hunger only they can feed.
Left alone with out their words – fallen into darkness.
Stumbling blindly without their light,
We fall and scream, knowing we've faced too much,
Knowing the only answer is flight.
Flight from the lives we once faced
And the joys and terrors others have brought.
Our time with them, a time of joy and life,
Wonder we all, was it for naught?

maybe it was the way you typed it?
I did a Google image search and it came up with regular werewolf pictures. Nothing about Werewolf The Foresaken. Of course, I did come up with some Ambross Werewolf pics.

Werewolf: the Forsaken is a Pen and Paper RPG set in a horror setting with werewolves as the primary charachters. Its similar in structure to the Vampire RPGs. Both are published by white wolf games, a company who seems to be producing RPGs in competition with Wizards of the coast (and not doing a bad job of it either).

Since it's a pen and paper RPG, it should *have* books, but not like novels. They're actually rule books and guide books on how to play the game. I personally have never played this game, but I have played other pen and paper RPG's, so this one should be fairly similar to others in this sense.

mechana2015 and everdred12a both gave responses that essentially cover your question. I post only to clarify because I have at least seen one of the Werewolf the Forsaken core books: while they certainly aren't novels (they are books that explain rules for a very complex game) I believe the book likely includes a great deal of backstory to set the scene. Most White Wolf games do.

Since you're interested, here is the official website:
http://www.white-wolf.com/werewolf/index.php

White Wolf doesn't make much of its intellectual property public domain, so there isn't much there, but there is some basic information.
