Were we going for product placement here? Mention all of these albums and artists and maybe score some free swag (i.e., concert tickets, CDs, etc.)?

[...] Worst in Fiction Even without all the extended description of solos in prog-rock songs that basically gives you a snapshot of the author’s entire music collection, WOLF’S TRAP by W.D. Gagliani would still get a failing grade for taking a sure-fire concept – werewolves – and letting it go limp. I hate to pick on such a nice guy, but it’s such a bad novel. [...]

[...] • W.D. Gagliani’s WOLF’S TRAP. Now, call me a cynic, but I had this book pegged from a mile away. First of all, the author’s name is totally wack. Secondly, WOLF TRAP sounds like a Judas Priest* cover band from Cleveland. [...]

The original HOWLING by Gary Bradner reads like a screenplay novelization even though it preceded the film by quite a few years. Bradner also did a sequel HOWLING II which has nothing to with the film sequel. Both are worth a look, but not really classis.

I also forgot to mention THE WOLF’S HOUR by Ric McCammon – good guy werewolf commando in WWII, defintely different.

I’m going to be on the lookout for HOWLING MAD.

Speaking of HOWLING, I wonder if the original THE HOWLING novel was any good.

Quinn Yarbro did a werewolf historical called THE GODFORSAKEN as well as a contemporary called BEASTNIGHTS.
… and if you really want to go back further Guy Endore’s THE WEREWOLF OF PARIS was quite scandalous for its time.

(also George Chesbro’s THE FEAR IN YESTERDAY’S RINGS includes a Lobox which is a hyper intelligent wolf-crossbreed that is trained to kill … no transformations though. The wolf stays a wolf)

… and finally for laughs HOWLING MAD by Peter David is a hoot and NAKED CAME THE SASQUATCH doesn’t have a bigfoot but it does have a character names W.Wolf

There are extremely too few werewolf books out there. I reread SP Somtow’s Moondance every couple of years–great, epic werewolf western–just to remind me that somebody once wrote such a book. The Ultimate Werewolf isn’t too shaggy either, on the short story tip.
