Haunting,
This review is from: THE ULTIMATE WEREWOLF (Paperback)
A most compelling read for a collection of Werewolf tales. Ranging from the common, to the not so common time traveling Lyncanthrop, this collection holds a wide gambit of tales all published in 1991. However, the real gem of the books shines forth at the end when a brief filmography is given for Werewolf movies

This review is from: THE ULTIMATE WEREWOLF (Paperback)
Not all the short stories in this anthology are uniformly amazing. For instance, Ellison's own about Lawrence Talbot's search for his soul, "Adrift Just Off the Islets of Langerhans," is just plain *wierd.* (And, no, I don't mean that in a nice way.) There are several stories about policemen/ werewolves, kind of an interesting angle, including the great "Partners" by Robert Randisi. Also special is "Pure Silver" by AC Crispin and Kathleen O'Malley about the relationship between a homeless man/ Holocaust survivor/ werewolf and an animal shelter worker and her K9 cop boyfiend. It's regret- filled, sad, lonely and wonderful. "South of Oregon City" by Pat Murphy is historical, taking place in the 19 the century when the far west was a wilderness. A trapper falls in love with a strange woman who turns ut to be a werewolf; it's very sweet. Others of the stories I've read in other collections of werewolf short stories. So, I guess what I'm saying is, the book has some very good stories, but don't spend too much money on it, or have too high expectations.

This review is from: THE ULTIMATE WEREWOLF (Paperback)
This is not only one of the best collections of werewolf stories I have come across, but one of the best horror compilations as well. Stories range from more traditional werewolf tales, to original science fiction pieces.
