Blurb:

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.

Not sure I'll even get to see a copy of Curse of the Full Moon let alone buy one, but for forms sake and while I'm waiting for someone to play with, here are the details. Can't really help you beyond that. To best of my knowledge the only one's I've read are Carleton's uninspired The Lame Priest, Beagle's Lila The Werewolf (so long ago can't even remember if I rated or hated it: the word "whimsical" just came into my head so most likely the latter) and the Harlan Ellison before he had the ™ which is excellent, and, seem to remember, one he rattled off while displayed in the front window of a Parisian bookstore after a signing? Ramsey Campbell's The Change is from the Fontana edition of Dark Companions - the TOR doesn't include it for some reason. Sean comments: "A writer finds out more than necessary about the behaviour of werewolves. Some of the descriptions of human faces and actions herein are almost hallucinogenic in their clarity. A good one, this."
