171. Wolfsbane and Mistletoe by Charlaine Harris


BOOK REVIEW: Wolfsbane and Mistletoe by Charlaine Harris

We associate Christmas with Santa Claus and gifts, cookies and milk, candy canes and gingerbread men. How about werewolves and other things that go bump in the night? Can the stuff of Halloween become the stuff of Christmas dreams as well? This book might just make you howl with pleasure (pun intended) once you read this book.

Best-selling authors Charlaine Harris and a few other authors 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 - literally - particularly lycanthropes. The authors have harvested the scariest, funniest, saddest werewolf tales, best read by the light of a full moon with a silver bullet close at hand.

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

Great fresh read for Christmas or any time of the year, it's a lovely melange of stories you definitely won't want to miss.
