Werewolves Dead Moon Rising

In the book there are several short stories written by all different authors,; but they all revolve around werewolves. In one of the short stories called skin belt by William R. Halliar, the main character has been changing into a werewolf on the full moon. He decides to get help and finds an old man. The old man gives him something that will stop his changes, and it works! But the old an wants it back, and is willing to do almost anything to get back his creation. What will the main character do?! I really like this book because of all the different writing styles put together into one book. All of the writing styles gives new side or idea to the werewolf legends, and the fresh new takes makes me want to read more. Also most of them go really far into characters like their looks and feelings, especially when they transform, which gives it really good imagery. I recommend this book highly; but not to younger kids. It has some inappropriate references and some foul language.

  1. Another short story in the book is called A pinch of flesh. In this story the main character is a women. This women meets a man, and they start dating. He tells her he need a bite of her flesh, or something horrible will happen. Well one night she was too late from getting home and havoc soon breaks out on the City....
    This story gives yet another interesting twist on the werewolf legends that really makes you think. It makes you feel bad for some of the main characters and get angry at others. Not only that, but it makes you wonder how if a person has so much difficulties can still try so hard to be perfect. I like this short story, however it is not my favorite. It could use a little more detail also.

  2. The Night Mare Begins begins. That is the name of the short story I recently read. In the story there is an animal control guy, who was bitten by a wolf. Suddenly, he starts experiencing weird things...
    I really like this story because it gives a really cool new side to the werewolf experience.
