A true homage to the creature, it includes full moon of topics such as ...
- Fenrir, the wolf child of the giantess Angrboda and the god Loki, from the Old Norse myth of Ragnarok
- Notorious serial killers, including Peter Stumpp and Michael Lupo, who thought themselves to be--and modeled their crimes on--werewolves
- Coyote people, tricksters, and were-animals of Navajo legend
- The Basque butchers of Louisiana and the loup-garou
- Diana, the goddess of the wilderness and the hunt, and her pack of hunting dogs, who once ruled all the dark forests of Europe
- Leopard creature-men and the deadly cult whose members expressed their were-leopard lust for human blood and flesh that has been in existence in West Africa for several hundred years
- The werewolf of the Dordogne, Francis Leroy, and his uncontrollable bloodlust during the full moon
- The secret terrorist group Organization Werewolf, established in 1923, and its possible allegiance to Adolf Hitler
- Ghouls from Arabic folklore, the demonic Djinns that hover near burial grounds and sustain themselves on human flesh stolen from graves
- Tasmania's thylacine and sightings of the probably extinct creature and its remarkable--and frightening--jaw capacity
- Alaska's Kushtaka and other stories of the Bigfoot man-beast
- Puerto Rico's chupacabra and its powerful goat-like legs, three-clawed feet, and penchant for sucking blood
- The Doñas de Fuera of Sicily, small fairies who looked human, aside from their paw-like feet, and were cruel and dangerous when crossed
- Enkidu, perhaps our earliest written record of a man-beast that appears on a Babylonian fragment circa 2000 BCE and tells the story of King Gilgamesh and his werewolf-like friend in The Epic of Gilgamesh
- And many more stories and histories of werewolves, night-stalkers, lycanthropes, and man-beasts
