Werewolves or Vulgarity?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Isaac Asimovs Werewolf (Paperback)
Very interesting compliation of shortstories. The stories are well written except for the overwhelming use of profane language. The use of vulgar language in the stories by the writers seemed to take most of the enjoyment of reading away for me. Seems to me other, more suitable, words could have been used. The book is profane!

Entertaining anthology,
By A Customer
This review is from: Isaac Asimovs Werewolf (Paperback)
The latest anthology reprints from the Asimov magazine centers on werewolves and as expected from that illustrious publication the stores are all great. The time frames vary adding to the depth of the mix. The stories take readers seemingly everywhere. One tale involves a Viking visit to the new world before Columbus. Another centers on a wild ride on the Orient Express in the nineteenth century. The 1950's South hosts a story. The American Western frontier provides the backdrop for a firth tale. Finally, the remaining entries take the audience on a weird trip in modern times. Each tale holds in common two things: werewolves are a featured character(s) and all six are excellent tales. Several of the tales are award winners, but all deserved recognition. Fans of horror short stories and anyone who relishes a werewolf tale with a bite will gain much pleasure from this collection that lives up to the Asimov label. Harriet Klausner

A pretty good Anthology,
By M. panah "Sassonic" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Isaac Asimovs Werewolf (Paperback)
This is a series of short stories, from various authors (not Asimov)each having a werewolf theme. There's no point in me giving splot summaries for several short stories, but a couple of the stories are a real interesting read, in particular the very first story in the anthology is great by Gregg Keizer, it's about a Viking ship at sea which may or may not have a werewolf in its crew. It's a dark story, filled with lore, and drama. It's worth buying the book just for that.

A Mixed Bag,
By The5thMarauder "Rogue" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Isaac Asimovs Werewolf (Paperback)
I am a huge werewolf fan, especially of lycanthropy as a metaphor of teenage female puberty/menstruation (Ginger Snaps, Annette Curtis Klause's Blood and Chocolate). Therefore, I greatly enjoyed the stories "Boobs" and "An American Childhood".
"Madonna of the Wolves" and "What Seen But the Wolf" were fascinating in their premises, but lagged at times. "Red" and "Two Bad Dogs" were my least favorite, they seemed out of place for some reason. It's a good compilation, and worth a look if you're a werewolf lover. |
