Werewolves: A Hunter's Guide

by Graeme Davis, Craig Spearing

Overview

Fear the full moon; for on that day of lunacy the wrath of the werewolves is unleashed. For thousands of years, from the depths of the dark forests to the dimly lit city streets, these beasts have stalked us from the shadows. This book is the only thing standing between humanity and an overwhelming horde of lycanthropes. It reveals the huge variety of werewolf types, including viral, shamanic, and sorcerous, highlighting their strengths and weakness, and explaining the best methods to capture or kill each variety. It also tells the full history of werewolves and the shocking role that they have played in some of history's most significant events, especially their involvement in numerous wars. Finally, it covers the groups and societies devoted to hunting the creatures, whether for safety, study, or sport.

About the Author

He studied archaeology at the University of Durham and has written a host of historical roleplaying sourcebooks for GURPS, Dungeons&Dragons, and other games. He is the author of a Dungeons&Dragons novel, a co-creator of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, and a credited writer on more than 30 video games.

Craig J Spearing graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1992, and began his illustration career in 1995. He currently works in the science fiction/ fantasy field. His illustrations have been featured in Spectrum 19, 20, and nominated for a Chesley award for best magazine cover.
Graeme Davis became hooked on myth and folklore after seeing Ray Harryhausen's Jason and the Argonauts on his parents' black-and-white TV. He studied archaeology (with an unofficial minor on Dungeons&Dragons) at England's Durham University before going to Games Workshop to help develop Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and other games. He has written extensively for tabletop roleplaying games and contributed to over 40 electronic games as a writer and game designer. He loves historical and historical-fantasy settings and knows a worrying amount about monsters.
