I like "Bad Moon" too (I own it on DVD).  I tried to get the book "Thor" (the book that the movie was based on), but it was not available at the time I looked, so I'll have to check again. 

NinjaWolf, I highly recommend "Cycle of the Werewolf" (it is a quick read), and I also recommend the paperback copy of the original book "The Howling."  These books are better than the movies (if you're a reader).

Yes, it came out before the movie, you can get it on amazon.com

Busboy: "The Howling" comic book by Dead Dog Press is suppose to be out in April according to their website.

Yay! 'Bout time they issued a release date for that. The nice, old lady that runs our local comic shop couldn't dig up any info on that comic for me.

The Howling book that I had (must have been well over 20 years ago) was pretty much an anthology. It was related to the movies but I haven't recognized any of the stories in the movies yet. I remember it being pretty well written, though (as pulp goes).

I just checked for the book "Thor" at amazon.com aga in and the cheapest used paperback edition is $23.00 right now.  New copies are still unavailable there (they would be $5.99 if they had them in stock).  The author of that book is Wayne Smith by the way.

One thing I liked about the Howling book I had is that there was one chapter where, instead of screaming and running when he saw a Werewolf, one mundane talked calmly to a young Werewolf and they became friends. It's one of those stories that takes Werewolves out of the "mindless monster" category.

Sorry, that was over 20 years ago (I think) and long gone.

Listen to the werefox, y'all, he knows what he is talking about.

Ah! Thank YOU, Busboy!

WVZ, yes, Gary Brandner wrote 3 books.

Better.  I'd rather think I was decended from canis lupis than some dung-flingn' monkey.

I know what you mean. In fact, Crosswalk is better than most on both accounts, so that's why I stay off the others.There are a couple of Christian Goth boards that I haunt nowdays and there are about 3 other Christian boards that I go to occassionally. Frankly, there's way too much bickering on the others.

I had a run in with a board callled ExWitch recently. I kept seeing Therians say things like "I rejected my Wereside for the Lord" and such and the admins were saying, "You can't be Were and Christian," so I very loudly proclaimed that there's no conflict between Christianity and Wereism and, since they couldn't counter me, they banned me.....which s alright because they let slip on the email they sent me that all the Therians started saying "If VanZandt's a Werewolf and a christian, I can be too." So my work was done there. 

But really it's no laughing mmatter, Sites like that (That's ExWitch E...x...W...i...t...c...h) are dangerous to young, inexperienced Weres. A Therian can't just get rid of their Wereside; it's an essential part of them. If they repress it, they begin having all kinds of neurotic problems. It ain't pretty. But where ExWitch banned me; Crosswalk stuck with me. So I'm staying there for the time being. There's serious problems in the church and if nobody confronts them, the problems won't go away.

that's interesting Wolf.. and not how I remember it at all.
