Werewolves rule the night in urban fantasy, but everyone knows there are other were-creatures out there just as dangerous & deadly, if not as common, each with their own issues as they struggle to fit into - or prey upon - society. What about the were-goats? The were-crows & were-wasps?

Here are 17 stories of urban fantasy by today’s leading science fiction & fantasy authors that introduce you to some of those other were-creatures, the ones hiding in the dark background shadows, waiting to bite. Join us as they take you into the hidden corners of our world to see some lesser known were-creatures. You may want to bring along some silver... just in case.
