Joshua Palmatier has announced the table of contents for the Were-anthology coming out in August 2016. The book was funded as part of last year’s Alien Artifacts & Were- SF&F Themed Anthologies Kickstarter.

The cover art is by Justin Adams.

The tentative back cover copy reads —

Werewolves rule the night in urban fantasy, but everyone knows there are other were-creatures out there just as dangerous and deadly, if not as common, each with their own issues as they struggle to fit into—or prey upon—society. What about the were-goats? The were-crows and were-wasps?

Here are seventeen stories of urban fantasy by today’s leading science fiction and fantasy authors that introduce you to some of those other were-creatures, the ones hiding in the dark background shadows, waiting to bite. Join us as they take you into the hidden corners of our world to see some lesser known were-creatures. You may want to bring along some silver . . . just in case.

  1. I backed this! 😀

    The table of contents looks great, and I’m looking forward to the book. That cover art is wonderful.

  2. I am SO TIRED of werewolf romance, but this looks genuinely entertaining. Hopefully some of the critters will be scary and deadly. OTOH, love the Koch title.

  3. I also backed this. Past experience with Joshua & Paticia’s anthologies has been pretty good. Table of contents rocks. Really looking forward to reading.

  4. Thanks! I ordered three of their anthologies. I love short stories.
