Paul Jessup

illustrated by Allyson Haller

Werewolves takes the form of an illustrated journal that plunges readers into the life of a high school girl-turned-werewolf as she makes her transformation. After Alice and her brother are bitten by what they assume are large dogs, her journal/sketchbook becomes a place for her to record the changes they start to experience her socially awkward brother falls in with some creepy new friends, and she surprises herself with new strengths and instincts and a suddenly nonvegetarian interest in raw steak.Joining the werewolf pack that bit them, they discover the pleasures and dangers that come with the cycles of the moon, including threats from hunters" who stalk them, a researcher seeking a cure, and escalating violence within the pack itself. With a fresh take on the lore and legend, Werewolves gives fans a ripping tale to sink their teeth into.

Paul Jessup is a critically-acclaimed writer of strange and eerie fiction.

Allyson Haller is a freelance illustrator based in Los Angeles.
