Narrado por: Chris Barnes

Since the dawn of time, across almost every culture, there have been legends of shape-shifters. Men who turn into beasts and prey upon anyone unfortunate enough to cross their path. Of the shape-shifter tales, none invokes as much terror as the legend of the werewolf.

The stories of men who become wolves persisted through the centuries from campfire folk tales to the modern age, where we are still thrilled and horrified by tales of bloodthirsty predators in our midst.

Twelve of the most successful authors of werewolf fiction in the 21st century have returned to their worlds and characters to bring you a truly blood-soaked collection of werewolf horror.

The stories in the anthology include:

• "Ivan’s Night Out: A Wolf Hunt Prequel" by Jeff Strand
• "Outside of Nowhere" by Ray Garton
• "Hunters Moon" by David Wellington
• "The Kiss of Divna Antonov" by Jonathan Janz
• "The Dead Brother Situation" by Glenn Rolfe
• "Blood Relations - A High Moor Story" by Graeme Reynolds
• "Lifeline" by Paul Kane
• "The Hunt" by Thomas Emson
• "The Original" by David Watkins
• "The Great Storm" by T.W. Piperbrook
• "Hybrid: Bloodlines" by Nick Stead
• "Evernight Circle" by Matt Serafini

Good solid collection of werewolf stories …

I really enjoyed this book. It is a collection of original, well written stories involving werewolf’s. My two favorites were “Outside of Nowhere” by Ray Garton and “Ivan’s Night Out” by Jeff Strand. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good werewolf story.

Irish narrator

Much as I love the Irish tongue, I missed far too many words in this collection of stories. I also wasn’t fond of the stories ending so abruptly and the next starting in the next breath. Stories were ok, but left up in the air too many times.

A solid anthology

I don't normally grab anthologies, but I'm glad I did grab this one. Listening to Jeff Strand and Graeme Reynolds revisit some of my favorites was great. I do not have a single bad thing to say about any of the stories, and I love Chris Barnes as a narrator.

Heavy Accent

The narrators heavy Irish accent--tho not his fault--sometimes made understanding the dialogue difficult. Otherwise the book wasn't really that bad.

Entertaining, but dissapointed

I dont know, I kind of expected something different than the same old "werewolves being merciless incontrollable bloodthirsty killers massacring people left and right" in at least SOME of these. Some fresh or truly different takes like some led me to believe. Really only 2 or 3 were even close to that for me, with the rest being mostly what I said (albeit different perspectives) or showing signs of being different and then just seriously wasting it (Outside of Nowhere was a real let down for me, like, I'm making my own ending to it, I don't care.)
I mean, if you like the aforementioned kind of telling of werewolf stories you'd probably like them just fine, but I was mostly left wanting something more and different.

The narrator did a fine job, and nothing was lost in his accent for me.

Also quite a bit of sexual abuse (which I get is part of the "get what's coming to them" story bits) but if you're not comfortable with that, be weary.
