Werewolf by Moonlight

In the dark forests of the mysterious Black Hill on the Shropshire/Welsh border, an evil creature terrorises and savages everything in its path, hunting its prey by the light of the full moon. After a series of horrific mutilations, hill farmers and nearby villagers fear the return of the legendary Black Dogs, ancient harbingers of doom.

Something is prowling the remote countryside, turning this rural idyll into a hellish world of bloodlust and carnage. Is it an escaped big cat? A wolf? Or can it be a… werewolf? Werewolf by Moonlight was Guy N. Smith’s first novel, published by New English Library in 1974.

Half a century later, it remains a classic of the pulp horror genre. Its sequels are Return of the Werewolf (1977) and Son of the Werewolf (1978). Other werewolf works by the same author are the novel Night of the Werewolf and the short story Spawn of the Werewolf.
