Halloween reads?

I'm in the mood to read something now that Halloween is nearing. I'm particularly interested in reading something about werewolves but my web searching leads me to believe almost all books dealing with the supernatural are lame romances. Any recommendations on something with werewolves while being masculine?

Darn....went and searched when I saw the title of your thread only. Perhaps the best classic short read for Halloween that I'd recommend is the The Willows by Algernon Blackwood read here: http://www.yankeeclassic.com/miskatonic/library/stacks/literature/blackwood/stories/willows.htm

Don't know any right off the top of my head about werewolves, though.

It's probably total garbage, but there was a Robert McCammon book from about 20 years ago that was a WWII werewolf story- the dude was like an OSS agent or something and also a werewolf. Can't recommend it because it may very well be trash, but I think it was called WOLF'S HOUR or something like that.

George R.R. Martin wrote a very good novella about werewolves called The Skin Trade. It's republished in his story collection Quartet. His vampire novel Fevre Dream is outstanding, and apparently takes place in the same setting but a hundred years earlier. (Yes, "Fevre" and not "Fever.")

Roger Zelazny wrote a book that I specifically like to read in October, "A Night in the Lonesome October," because each chapter covers one day in the month of October. It's a fun story with a lot of classic horror movie characters, including Dracula, Frankenstein, the Werewolf. Sherlock Holmes also appears, and the protagonist is Jack the Ripper.

Zelazny also wrote "A Dark Traveling", a somewhat short novel involving alternate realities. The protagonist is a young werewolf. The story is okay but it's a light read that was apparently targeted at younger readers, maybe around 9-12 years old.

Shellhead: I make it a habit to read A Night in the Lonesome October every October also. I always say I'm going to read one chapter for each day of the month, but always end up reading it in like a week. Fevre Dream looks kind of good, I liked the Song of Fire & Ice series (for the most part), I may have to check that out too.

Barnes: Werewolves in WWII? Sounds a lot like an issue of Fables.
