Synopses & Reviews
It's not always easy to scare up a living. Warren, an unproductive, non-careerist werewolf, has been demoted to a very undesirable work schedule: the day shift. Is it the end of Warren's career, or a chance to muzzle out his true identity? Day Shift Werewolf is about the underdogs of horror: a claustrophobic mummy, a free-wheeling zombie, a demon with a hidden human and other incompetent monsters who find new truths to life on the dark side.
Review
"While purists might sniff that Day Shift Werewolf is really a loosely related collection of short stories, I don't think contest judges erred in picking this tale the writing is so zestful and funny that it clearly is a winner." The Bookmonger
