This review is from: The Compleat Werewolf and Other Stories of Fantasy and Science Fiction (Mass Market Paperback)

For his characters alone in this book, Anthony Boucher deserves awards. They are other-worldly (a ghost who gets killed--?); an air-breathing squid-like Martian who is a brilliant bartender of mixes for two humans who revolutionize the use of robotics and androids; some mummified creatures who have a cannibalistic way of coming alive when unexpected; a Lilliputian demon who can't manage the simplest of tasks when asked; and of course, the title player, a college professor-turned-werewolf for love.

Not enough? How about a murder that costs the killer more than his life by summoning a creature from his own imagination? Just ask Gorgo, Dugg Quinby, Wolfe Wolf, Guzub, and Snulbug (but don't ask the latter for tomorrow's newspaper. He might bring it and a lot of surprises too.)

This review is from: The Compleat Werewolf (Paperback)

I checked this book out of the local library when I was was MUCH younger and enjoyed it immensely. A nice grouping of short stories that keep your interest and allow you to pick it up and put it down at will without losing much. The characters are delightfully put together and fun to think of, even though they're all fictional.
