review 1: This is a revised edition of a book that was originally published in 1994. I was curious, given my love for horror fiction anthologies, why I had no memory of purchasing the first edition back in the day and then I started reading. Oh yeah, the reason I never bought the first edition is because werewolf stories kind of bore me to death. Other than "Boobs", a really memorable story of teen girl lycanthropy by Suzy McKee Charnas, this is mostly boring, tedious reading. I wouldn't be surprised if I actually did buy a copy of this book back in the day and simply forgot that I had read all these forgettable stories.
review 2: This is probably the best anthology of werewolf stories currently in print. It is an updated version of an earlier text (re-printed for a ti
... moree-in with the movie, The Wolfman). It is not a “definitive” collection because many classic stories were omitted in favor of newer tales by more modern writers. My favorites are mostly the older stories however, such as The Werewolf, by R. Chetwynd-Hayes and The Cell by David Case. I also enjoyed Twilight at the Towers by Clive Barker and Guilty Party by Stephen Laws. less

Loved it, a collection of short werewolf stories, all very good and very different.

I thought the Zorro story was particularly clever - and I LOVED "The Cell."

If you're a shifter fan, this is a great collection of Werewolf stories.
