[Chris · Rating 3 out of 5]

From the tale of a mysterious black fox, to a page-gripping retelling of "Red Riding Hood", Howl: Dark Tales of the Feral and Infernal has enough shape-shifting adventure to keep you awake well into the wee hours of the morning.

Featuring a talented array of new and seasoned writers, the stories in this collection are, for the most part, exceptionally creative and fresh takes on the "were-creature" myths. There's werewolves in here, but that's just the tip of the bestial iceberg.

There's a couple of raw edges here and there, but chances are you'll blow right by them and be left wanting much, much more.
