Fighting Fantasy
In writing the book, Green wanted to create an adventure that drew on the mythology and folklore surrounding werewolves, having found that their previous appearances in "Fighting Fantasy" took the form of shallow side-encounters. Green has stated that he took the criticisms of his previous work on the official "Fighting Fantasy" website forums into account when writing "Howl of the Werewolf". The procedure for creating a character in "Howl of the Werewolf" is somewhat different than for previous "Fighting Fantasy" books.
