Anthony Boucher was long known as an important book critic and editor, master of languages and successful novelist. He was also a superb short-story writer of science fiction and fantasy: inventive, prolific-and always entertaining.
The stories and novelettes in this titanic collection were chosen for the sheer virtuosity of their themes, moods, backgrounds; for their technical brilliance; for their insights; for their laughter.
They are wonderfully peopled by moth-eaten little demons, grim interplanetary predators, rebellious androids and doppelgangers; by humans with otherworld talents; and finally, not least, by one very special werewolf.
The Compleat Werewolf is a memorable volume, representing as it does a rich display of a fine author's creativeness and craftsmanship.
