       "A night watchman who really enjoys graveyard shifts and entertaining
     robbers for the evening." -28
       [This story really does have an unusual angle.  Most werewolf stories
     either have the werewolf using his curse in bizarre situations, or trying
     to avoid the curse; very few explore the "practical, commercial" 
     applications. -MP]

THE LIST (SPOILER SECTION)
     The remainder of this section contains "spoiler" information on short
stories.  Proceed at your own risk and expense.  All the ratings, publication
info, and non-spoiler comments are in the regular section.  If you're not
interested in spoiler info, you can stop reading now.

S Gardner, Craig Shaw Day of the Wolf                       
S      "This one is good, the author sets out to catch you on your 
S    expectations, if you're not careful.  A bit of a spoiler--the protagonist
S    is not a werewolf but a catalyst for creating werewolves." -28
S
S Hoffman, Nina Kiriki Unleashed  
S      "Werewolf meets wereman." -11
S 
S Le Guin, Ursula K.  The Rule of Names              
S      [Le Guin seems to like stories that reverse your expectations.  When the
S    wizard uses his enemy's true name to force him into his true shape, it 
S    turns out that the enemy wizard is actually the dragon, who toasts the
S    wizard and then goes out for a snack. -MP]
S Le Guin, Ursula K.  The Wife's Story              
S      [Due to the way it's told you probably won't catch onto this until the
S    very end, but it's a reverse-lycanthropy story; a wolf turns into a man
S    under the full sun, and eventually gets hunted down by his own pack. -MP]
S 
S van Vogt, A. E.     The Enchanted Village   
S      "There is a relatively classic short story of a space-wrecked man
S    transformed into an alien by an alien city, allowing him to survive.  The
S    author and title are long forgotten, but the final scene has the hero
S    smoothing his whiskers and having a tail." -20
S      [Hopefully this is the one he meant, anyway...  In any case, it's very
S    good.  Giving away the ending might constitute a spoiler, though. -MP]
