I've recently read Cycle of the Werewolf and Caynons. Just finished Stolen today and I'm now reading Howling Mad.
Cycle of the Werewolf has some really good illustrations in it, though wolfie needed a tail. Caynons was good as well but...odd. A lot of graphic sex and feeding scenes. Not to mention characters having sex with their children and parents. :P Loved Stolen, need more werewolf books from Armstrong.

Yeah, Bernie Wrightson is one of the kings of horror illustration and does an excellant job with Werewolves (He's the one that did the illustrations for Cycle).

I can second that 'The Wolf's Hour' by Robert R. McCammon is a fun and interesting read.

As stated in another thread however, one of my favorite wolf transformation books is 'The Wild' by Whitley Strieber.
The change, does it wrack the bones and rend the flesh ? Yes, indeed it does. But is this pain and agony alone ? No, in fact hardly at all. It is the Sacrament of the Moon. The flesh flows and so do the endorphins. It is, in truth, the agony ecstatic; The Pain That Is Pleasure

Last night I saw that the two WW books, 'The Promise' and 'The Passion' are back in print 8) Both by Donna Boyd. I was really tempted to buy one, but I already spent all my money and I need to take it easy on the credit card :P I hear a lot of good reviews for em, so they are of interest :)

Night of the Wolf and Silverwolf, both excellent werewolf stories with a little romance thrown in

A Blood Ties TV Series to be made for Toronto television

Post by garouda »

"Blood Ties is based on Tanya Huff’s internationally popular "Blood" novels. When her latest love interest turns out to be a 450-year-old vampire and the caseload of her fledgling P.I. agency shifts from fraud artists and cheating spouses to battles with ghosts, ghouls, zombies and demons, ex-police detective Vicki Nelson realizes that her life will never be the same. The series will be produced by Kaleidoscope Entertainment and goes into production later this summer."

Now what is notable here is that one of the books in her series involved a family of werewolves. Now whether the Television series will borrow from that particular book, entitled Blood Trail is not known. But perhaps it will.

I wonder if this series will be released outside of Canada, or will folks have to attempt to get it by other means.

Another interesting note is that Kaleidescope Entertainment appears to be a part of India's "Bollywood", though this company has also built a reputation for filmaking to international standards.

Also, I would inquire, who has read the book "Blood Trail" ? I found it quite enjoyable.

The Wereling

Post by Edgywriter »

I have recently just started reading a really good series called The Wereling by Stephen Cole. It's a trilogy, and the first book in the series is called Wounded. They're really amazing books....I would recommend them to anyone.

I'ev checked out Blood and Chocolate and my friend Edgywriter who is a new member here gave me the first The Wereling: Wounded to read. I haven't really had time to read, because of school, so i just randomly picked some pages to read and both books look really good. Hopfully i can to some reading this weekend.

it goes from first to last.

1) Wounded

2) Prey

3) Resurrection

To me Prey ans Resurrection are the best Wounded was more of a setup

most of the book but still great.

The sequel to "the Silver Wolf" was
"Night of the Wolf."
The sequel to "Night of the Wolf" was
"the Wolf King."

All 3 are by Alice Borchardt, Ann Rice's sister,
who writes werewolf books, not vampire books.

Heres were you can read an interview of sorts that best explains the books.

I forget which comes first, but I've read it. It's pretty good.

My one quibble is it's one of MANY books that say the following on the back:
"(name of book) does for werewolves what Ann Rice does for vampires."
I'm TIRED of seeing that fricking EVERYWHERE.

Rodentia wrote:the Howling trilogy..very good (what the movie sequels SHOULD have been based on)

Return of the Wolfman..a sequel to the Universal film.

Otherwere: Stories of Transformation..an anthology of people turning into things other than wolves.

Women Who Run With The Werewolves..,I reccommend the story " Boobs" to be found within..(trust me..it's really cool)
IMHO,
anyone who plans to buy
"Women Who Run With the Werewolves" should save the money
and buy "the Ultimate Werewolf" (a bigger, BETTER anthology)
and "Tomorrow Bites",
an anthology of science fiction werewolves.
(I love the cover quote...
"werewolves howling at the moon,
werewolves howling ON the moon...")

My favorite book I own would have to be Werrewolves. By Elliott O'Donnell
Its not really a story. Its more of an informational book. Although some bits seem a bit off. its a nice read. It can be hard to get you hands on a copy. I suggest ordering online.

its has chapters like:
What is a werewolf?
The spirit of werewolves.
How to become.
And there there are the storys of werewolves in diffrent countrys.
SEDUCTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE

I love Blood and Chocolate, Ive read it at least six times and Ive even made my boyfriend read it! :lol:

Bitten, Stolen and Broken all rock!

Some other good books that Ive read are:

Wolf Moon by Charles DeLint (about a man who can change into a wolf who is being hunted by a harper)

Wolf Speaker by Tamora Pierce(about a young girl who has strong animal magick and a deep connection with wolves. she rides along in the bodies of animals, can speak with them and even changes into them)

The Werewolf's Sin, The Werewolf's Touch and The Werewolf's Kiss by Cheri Scotch (about a pack of lousianna based half form werewolves who eat evil people)

And there is another book that takes palce in France back when their were witch burnings and for the life of me I cant remember then name or the author..but it was a good book! :wink:

Speaking of which, did you know they did burn accused werewolves at the stake in france too?
You are the only light there is for yourself my friend
