These are hysterical. Thanks Dem. I desperately needed a giggle. cheers, H. In that case, here's the aforementioned Fangs Of The Werewolf in all its majesty, plus *bonus story* The Cursed Diamonds from The Witches Tales #1 Jan, 1951. "Enjoy." Or Something.

Jerry & Sharon Ahern - WerewolveSS (Pinnacle, 1990). Nominated by Don D'Amassa in Scream Factory #10 for "Worst World War II horror novel," but, bearing in mind he doesn't think much of Eat Them Alive or Draco The Dragon Man, I doubt we need pay his verdict too much attention. Ramsey Campbell - The Change: (Pat Cadigan [ed.], Shayol #4, 1980: Ghosts & Grisly Things, 1998). An author researching a book on lycanthrope finds evidence of his wild theories horribly easy to come by. Vernon Zimmerman - The Werewolf of Lonesome Gulch: ( The Atomic Thunderbolt #1, Feb 1946). With two grisly murders in quick succession, Doc Mort is inclined to believe the terrible legend of the Gulch is true. Sheriff Calvert is adamant that the real killer is using the werewolf myth as cover and deputises the entire community to hunt down a man in a furry onesie with metal tipped gloves. One of these men has insider knowledge. Loveable two page filler story from early horror comic. Scooby doo ending perhaps best described as "abrupt."

Bumper update. Werewolf pulp. Greye La Spina - Wolf Of The Steppes: ( The Thrill Book, March 1. 1919). Edith & Ejler Jacobson - The Werewolf Of Wall Street: ( Dime Mystery Magazine, June 1938). A pulse-stirring mystery novel of a ghastly thirst that could not be quenched by neither water nor wine!William Merriam Rouse - The Creepers: ( Argosy, 27 Dec. 1919). Tarleton Fiske (Robert Bloch) - Flowers From the Moon: ( Strange Stories, Aug. 1939). Stranger than the Spatial Voyage is the Horrible Doom of Lycanthrope. J. Paul Suter - The Wolf In The Dark: ( Ghost Stories, Feb. 1931). Invisible terror stalks into these two boys' lives. Virgil Finlay August Derleth & Mark Schorer - The Woman At Loon Point: ( Weird Tales, Dec. 1936). What was that snarling thing that growled and cowered in the lonely lodge in the woods, guarded by a hysterical girl, as the long howl of a timber wolf sounded outside in the forest?. Emsh ( Wolfie) Theodore Cogswell - Wolfie: ( Beyond Fantasy Fiction, Jan. 1954). Magic always works .... even with the wrong ingredients!William Stout Lee Chater - The Thing On The Stairs: ( Coven 13, March 1970). A foxfire duel with a cast from the Grand Guignol. This one should keep your fingers on your pulse ...Seabury Quinn - Out Of The Long Ago: ( Weird Tales, Jan. 1925). Werewolves - A Tale of Heredity.Flavia Richardson (Christine Campbell Thomson) - Brood Of The Beast: ( Hutchinson Mystery Magazine #28, May 1925). Cassie H. MacLaury - Werewolf: ( Ghost Stories, March 1927). H. Warner Munn - The Werewolf's Daughter: ( Weird Tales, Oct. 1928). A romantic story of the weird adventures that befell the daughter of the Werewolf of Ponkert - a three part serial. Mout Hurst - The Wolf Man: ( Ghost Stories, July 1928). Jeremy Ellis - Silver Bullets: ( Weird Tales, April 1930). Ordinary weapons were powerless against the creature that tore the living corpse of Lomba Raveki. Grace M. Campbell - The Law Of The Hills: ( Weird Tales, Aug. 1930). A tragic, tender tale of the slim white shape that ran with the wolf-pack over the snow. Will F. Jenkins (Murray Leinster) - Night Drive: ( Today's Woman, March. 1950: Groff Conklin [ed.], Twisted, Belmont, 1962) Frank Robinson - The Night Shift: ( Fantasy Magazine, Feb-March, 1953). Werewolves are supposed to haunt lonely, back-country roads. That seems a little silly, when you consider that most beasts of prey go where the game is thickest. Now at night, in the larger cities ...Gordon Dickson - The Girl Who Played Wolf: ( Fantastic, Aug. 1958) Dan Lindsay - The Beatnik Werewolf: ( MF&SF, Dec. 1960). Larry Eugene Meredith - The Last Letter From Norman Underwood: ( Magazine Of Horror #19, Jan. 1968) Joan Aiken - Furry Night: ( Argosy, Nov. 1958: Peter Haining [ed.] Nightfrights, Gollancz 1972).

What a fabou riot of treats, Dem! I'm quite curious about that Greye La Spina tale. I only learned of Madame La Spina's existence a couple of years ago while perusing the library copy of this massive tome emitted by the Centipede Press on the Weird Tales writers (or "circle" as the author called it--makes me think the gang were suspected of having formed a coven--and what an entertaining yarn that would make!).
I wonder if The Werewolf of Wall Street was intended to be a parody. Or a slice of realism?
Also curious about Tarleton Fiske, author of Seal of the Satyr--the latter sounds like something in my line.
cheers, Helrunar

Also curious about Tarleton Fiske, author of Seal of the Satyr--the latter sounds like something in my line. cheers, Helrunar I'm missing several stories from the above list but, fortunately, not the three you mention so will get to them eventually. 'Tarleton Fiske' was one of Robert Bloch's multiple pseudonyms, and this particular story is a werewolf-demon flower hybrid. When Professor Jackson's lunar party return from the moon they bring with them samples of the indigenous flora - white and scarlet orchids, lethally scented. Haven't got to The Werewolf Of Wall Street yet but, given the source, we can safely predict the 'Werewolf' in question will eventually be revealed as the pillar of the community in Halloween fancy dress. Blood of the Beast is the one that most interests me. It's one of three CCT stories published in Hutchinson’s Mystery Story Magazine she didn't recycle across the Not At Night's - unless she renamed them - the others being The Beautiful Mrs. Forrest (Aug 1925) and White Chimneys, (June 1925). Brian J. Frost references Blood of the Beast in The Essential Guide To Werewolf Literature, but I know nowt about The Beautiful Mrs. Forrest and White Chimneys.

Picked this up at yesterday's Sclater Street market along with copies of Stephen Laws The Wrym, Mark Morris's Stitch and Caroline Graham's Inspector Barnaby outing, Death In Disguise. "The next Stephen King"'s novel evidently written with the young adult audience in mind. Dean Vincent Carter - The Hunting Season (Bodley Head, 2007) Songe Riddle Blurb: Eight years ago, the Austrian emergency services were called to the scene of a bizarre car accident.
Eight years ago two mangled bodies were found in the snow not far from the vehicle, clawed and chewed, it seemed, by some ferocious animal.
Eight years ago something unspeakable took Gerontius Moore's parents from him, leaving him orphaned and alone... And now, that something, is back.
Caught up in a hunt he was never meant to be a part of, and finding help from a most unlikely source, Gerontius must once more flee the clutches of an appalling beast, before it learns its business is unfinished.
Full moon or not, the hunt is on.And some more pulp illo's: Emerson Graves - When The Werewolf Howls: ( Horror Stories, May 1940). Irma Low had never liked Lester Sands ... but it was not until she lay helpless on the floor of that dark cavern, that she knew the secret which set him apart from other men. 'Emerson Graves' was a pseudonym used by both Paul Ernst and Ray Cummings, both of whom contributed stories to the shudder pulps. Quindaro Jeremy Ellis - Silver Bullets: ( Weird Tales, April 1930). Harry Ferman Seabury Quinn - Uncanonized: ( Weird Tales, Nov. 1939). A tale of werewolfery and the horror that struck by night. Reprinted in Quinn's uneven, lycanthrope-heavy collection of his 'best' non-Jules de Grandin adventures, Is The Devil A Gentleman?, Mirage, 1970.

I wonder if The Werewolf of Wall Street was intended to be a parody. Or a slice of realism? Greye La Spina could spin a solid werewolf tale. I recall liking "Wolf of the Steppes," but Invaders from the Dark (a.k.a. Shadow of Evil) and especially, "The Devil's Pool," may be her best werewolf stories. More thoughts on the La Spina thread. As for "The Werewolf of Wall Street," am I the only one envisioning a bristly 1980s-styled Leonardo Dicaprio snorting cocaine from the corpses of his victims?

Lory - Chains: ( More Tales Of The Frightened, 1975). Roger Dale Trexler - Is That A Streetlight Or The Moon?: ( A Visit With The Shorts, 1988).

Instead, it only fans the flames of her passion....Merry Christmas, Globeswatchers. Franklin Marsh - Yukon: ( Filthy Creations #5, Nov. 2008: Auld Franklin's Almanak Of Doom, 2015).

I would put the blame on the art department. Ghastly beyond belief.
