There are two ways to write a werewolf novel - you can examine the genre conventions, or you can say, 'What would it be like if I were a werewolf?'

We have all seen werewolf transformations hundreds of times on screen.

While I was writing 'The Last Werewolf,' I didn't watch any horror movies.

One of the things that seems absolutely clear to me about werewolves - with their canine makeup - is that they would be dogs, as it were.

If being a werewolf is really a curse, you've got to treat it honorably. If werewolves are going to carry on, there has to be an incredibly powerful force. There is the business of the craving, the hunger for the kill. It has to be deeply pleasurable and more than an appetite for meat. There has to be a sensual dimension to it.

Cheney, Rumsfeld - they were Shakespearean in their attitude of impunity.
