Lock the doors, board the windows, grab your silver bullets — the full moon is rising.

Combining human intelligence with animalistic desires, werewolves are the most dangerous (but also the most complex and conflicted) of the monsters that hunt us at night.

The wide-ranging stories in Curse of the Full Moon explore all elements of these intriguing creatures, from violent nocturnal transformations to torturous efforts to survive on the fringes of society. Including flesh-tearing assaults, torrid love affairs, and cold-blooded retaliations, these blood-curdling tales present modern interpretations of the age-old battle between humans and monsters.

In Curse of the Full Moon, the fur flies like never before as humans and werewolves hunt one another in desolate alleys, darkened bedrooms, and nightmarish backwoods. Along the way, the authors fully reveal these mysterious shape-shifters.

Peter S. Beagle, Jonathan Carroll, Charles de Lint, Harlan Ellison, Barb Hendee, Joe R. Lansdale, Tanith Lee, Ursula K. Le Guin, George R.R. Martin, William Messner-Loebs, Michael Moorcock, Matt Venne, and Gene Wolfe
