I used to check this book out of the library at least once every two months when I was younger; it has some of the best werewolf stories I've ever read in it. The selection is superb. Check it out and expect to be thoroughly engrossed.

A young adult (grades 5 and 6 reading level) collection of stories about werewolves. The weakest of the collection are the formulaic, unoriginal stories (teen wolf, a wolf camping trip). The strongest twist the werewolf folklore (some very aware of the lore) into new meaning (particularly two that deal with parallels to anti-Semitism and another that deals with the Children's Crusade) to create original tales. Not particularly deep, but a good collection for young readers. Grade: B

Hey all you fantasy creature lovers - have I got a story for you. It's called WEREWOLVES. It is a whole bunch of stories about werewolves from
authors such as Jane Yolen & Ru Emerson.
There are some heart touching stories, scary stories and sad stories. The book has other fairy tale creatures such as fairies and sprites (and not sprite like the soda). Sprites are kind of like fairies although they're as big as humans. There are also stories about gypsies that are werewolves.
I do not recommend this book to little kids because it can sometimes be a little scary. I do recommend it to people who like fantasy creatures.
