Jaccoma, Richard

The Werewolf's Tale {88/65,83,154/} [BBT]

[Fawcett; 1988; 0449132900, $3.95] [BB]

• Rating: 2 Result: LY Significance: + Description: + Saturation: +. A bizarre crossbreed of hard-boiled detective fiction and standard werewolf story with a dollop of gratuitous sex and violence. Standard-issue supernatural conspiracies abound, and the double crosses are no great surprise. The transformation scenes are well done, though, and that keeps the whole thing from being a total waste. -88
• Lycanthropy. -154

• Rating: 1 Result: LY Significance: + Description: 0 Saturation: 0. The third in the series (I believe). A wretched mishmash of werewolf and save-the-world-from-evil story. Poorly plotted, poorly written. -88
