There’s just one little itty-bitty problem: Sophie is a werewolf–and her time of month has a whole new meaning.Needless to say, life among yummy flesh-and-blood humans is no piece of steak . . . er, cake!, but regular doses of wolfsbane tea and a mother who runs a magic shop have helped Sophie keep her paranormal pedigree under wraps. Still, when a sexy, golden-eyed werewolf prowls into town, Sophie finds herself struggling to keep her animal impulses in check–not to mention trying to keep things on track with her super hot (and super human) lawyer boyfriend. What’s more, someone is threatening to expose Sophie for what she really is. And when her mother is accused of selling a poison-laced potion, Sophie must sniff out a culprit before the fur hits the fan.DON’T MISS THE NEXT BOOK IN THIS HAIR-RAISING TRILOGY: ON THE PROWL

A book teeming with new information on Garou, including details about pack structure, moots and the mysteries of each tribe.

In this collection love and loss tear at the fabric of everyday life and distort reality. What was once objectively familiar is tainted by uncertainty, and soon everything becomes subtly and terrifyingly altered. In "Loup-garou" a young man watches his own past re-enacted as an avante garde French film. In "Llanfihangel" memories of the past are shown to be incorrect and misinterpreted. In Russell's stories even the present appears to be open to misunderstanding. When those around you insist that they see they world differently at least you can argue with them. But when you realise that you cannot rely on your own senses then the world becomes a terrifying place indeed.

Shaun and Gabriel have come to the glittering desert casinos to escape from the bloody wars of the Garou, but when the ultimate forces of Evil join with the mob to gain control of the city's most palatial casino, they face death and destruction once again. Original.

Ever since hard-drinking, local Woodhaven police officer Lou Garou had a late-night bender and stumbled onto dark magic, his life has been turned upside-down. Now he moonlights as WolfCop, a rage-fueled, bourbon-swilling, magnum-toting, rabid warrior for justice! Everyone's favorite lycanthropic lawman tears out of the big screen and into this comic to fight bigger, badder and meaner monsters! WolfCop gets caught up in a bit of small-town hospitality when a bordello with dark secrets traps him with his two favorite vices - women and booze. Then when black magic leaves him alone and wolfed-out full time, WolfCop must return home, only for unfamiliar faces to have a surprise party planned for him. Not the fun kind either

But there’s one Sophie would rather keep under wraps: she is a werewolf.Sophie’s life gets a little more hairy when her long-estranged father, Luc, arrives in the Live Music Capital to attend the werewolves’ annual Howl and reconnect with his daughter. But Luc’s plans fall apart after he’s accused of murder and arrested by his archrival, Wolfgang, leader of the Houston pack (and one notoriously dirty dog). Wolfgang drools at the thought of Luc’s impending execution, but Sophie won’t let her father die without a fight. Determined to prove his innocence, she and her friends set out to find the real killer. Along the way, Sophie must deal with taboo attractions, Machiavellian intrigues, sinister agendas, and hair-raising betrayals.

The savage werewolves called Garou face a harbinger of the Apocalypse in a great Wyrm-beast that devours history itself and threatens to corrupt all of Europe.

In Tribe Novel: Black Spiral Dancers, the mad Lord Arkady journeys into Malfeas and comes face to face with the Wyrm itself.

Sickness gnaws at the land. The stream runs black with corruption. Black Rindle, child of forbidden union, is outcast among Garou and humans alike. Why then have the spirits chosen him for a special purpose, when they turn a deaf ear to all others? Kaitlin has fled the city, fled the undead horrors that walk the streets there, in favor of the solitude-and crippling loneliness-of the wilds. But before she can come to terms with the supernatural creatures that seem determined to draw her back into their world, she must reclaim her place among humanity. Will the mysterious and violent stranger who crosses her path help her balance atop the precipice between the worlds, or will he push her over the edge?

"A horror story the like of which is not often seen ... a tragic tale calculated to chill the blood of any reader whose nerves are not well under control." - New York Times "Twentieth-century American version of loup garou lore handled with due regard to traditional trappings and plentiful thrills ... Scary!" - Saturday Review "Sophisticated werewolf thriller, a serious attempt to ground lycanthropy in contemporary psychology ... Years ahead of its time." - Robert Knowlton, Horror Literature: A Reader's Guide In the heart of the superstitious Pennsylvania Dutch country stands the mansion of Pierre de Camp-d'Avesnes, whose family history dates to the 12th century, when, according to family lore, an ancestor made a deal with the devil. As part of the bargain, the legend says, every seventh generation a terrible curse is visited upon the eldest child of the family. Recently strange things have begun to happen: children are being savagely murdered, a mysterious white wolf has been sighted, and Pierre's daughter Sara has been behaving oddly. Is the curse to blame, or is there a rational explanation? Desperate to uncover the truth, Pierre enlists the aid of cynical journalist Manning Trent and psychiatrist and occult expert Dr. Justin Hardt. It's a race against time to save Sara and stop the killings as modern-day science and skepticism are pitted against medieval magic and superstition in this suspenseful thriller. Praised by contemporary critics and recognized by horror scholars as considerably ahead of its time, Franklin Gregory's The White Wolf (1941) is one of the best werewolf novels of its era. This new edition features the unabridged text of the first edition and a reproduction of the original jacket art.

Despite a narrow escape from death during her last visit to Grand-mere's eighteenth-century villa, Chrissy de Medici returns to celebrate a quiet family Christmas, complete with the traditional dishes and customs of Provence. Her plan is to regain control of her struggling paper, Le Loup Garou, which she left in capable hands while she took a much-needed holiday after her summer's adventures. But when a valuable fifteenth-century illuminated prayer book disappears from Grand-mere's room and her uncle is found dead in the orange grove, Chrissy is thrown into solving the mysteries. Hoping to vindicate the de Medici name and get the "scoop" for her paper, Chrissy joins forces with her irrepressible Grand-mere and medieval manuscript expert, Sister Felicity, visiting from Scholastica Abbey on Cape Cod. Claude Bizzard, the inspector from Paris who saved Chrissy's life once before, will be hard pressed to match the energy and expertise of this trio - but Chrissy cannot shake the feeling that he might be another kind of match for her. Can Chrissy solve the mysteries, save her paper and smoothe strained family relations without missing the joy of Christmas?

When Cajun artist George Rodrigue began his series of Blue Dog paintings in 1984, he had no idea that they would consume the greater part of his life for over two decades, and that the mysterious Blue Dog—inspired by his studio dog–turned-model, Tiffany, and the Cajun loup-garou folk legend—would become a wildly popular international icon as well. Blue Dog Speaks is the first book to prominently emphasize Rodrigue’s painting titles, one of the most important elements in the creation of a Blue Dog painting, alongside the works. Rodrigue uses Blue Dog painting titles to provide insight—whether humorous or nostalgic or sad—into the human condition.In an introduction, Rodrigue reveals how an idea that originated in childhood tales has now grown far beyond; his Blue Dogs have moved beyond Louisiana into formerly uncharted territory and now express larger concepts about contemporary life. His newer titles—such as Right Place Wrong Time and Tiffany Remembers the ’70s—along with other, more abstract ones such as All by Myself with My Happiness capture this shift in style and content.But most of all, there are the paintings themselves, magnificently displayed, their titles inviting us to ask “What is this dog all about?” and “What is the artist trying to say?” Even though the definitive answers remain a mystery, the titles provide a clue...
