Alasdair Beckett-King & James Shakeshaft from The Loremen. Richard Hatem from Richard Hatem's Paranormal Bookshelf. And Chris Cullari & Ed Voccola from Scared All The Time.

    Gruesome Greetings Dear Guests! Please take note of our repeated use of the word "gruesome" for this wild and wonderful werewolf tale is not for the faint of heart.

The Werewolf of Bedburg. And yes, Mr. Darling is fond of this story!
