REISSUE: "New York Times" bestselling authors Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs, Keri Arthur, Carrie Vaughn, and Karen Chance – along with ten other masters of the genre – offer stories on werewolves and the holidays, a fresh variation on the concept of birthdays and vampires found in "Many Bloody Returns."

The holidays can bring out the beast in anyone – particularly lycanthropes. Charlaine Harris and Toni L.P. Kelner have harvested the scariest, funniest, saddest werewolf tales by an outstanding pack of authors, best read by the light of a full moon with a silver bullet close at hand.

Whether wolfing down a holiday feast (use your imagination) or craving some hair of the dog on New Year's morning, the werewolves in these frighteningly original stories will surprise, delight, amuse, and scare the pants off readers who love a little wolfsbane with their mistletoe.
