4.0

Many short story compilations out there are not anything to rave about, but I really liked this one. It had 14 werewolf stories that took place on or near Christmas Eve. The only author I'd read before was Charlaine Harris, and now I'm wanting to go look for books by the other authors--all of them. Each story had it's own style and a somewhat different take on werewolves. One of the stories was kind of predictable, but the others had me wondering what was going to happen. Writing a good short story is difficult because you have so much less time to develop character and setting, and I thought all of the writers did a pretty good job of that. I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys werewolf stories.
