Werewolf Story Breakdown

CaptureI previously released plot summaries on this blog for my zombie and vampire stories, so now here come the lycans.  How does one become a werewolf?  Does a werewolf have control over their actions?  The list of questions goes on and on.  Werewolf lore has been quite different over the years, and with my third novel and third sCrypt comics comic book, I’ve included these differing accounts, plus my own.  As the plot continues, this time, our characters are confronted with a werewolf threat.
