The Werewolf’s Guide to Life: A Manual for the Newly Bitten

guideThe Werewolf’s Guide to Life: A Manual for the Newly Bitten by Ritch Duncan and Bob Powers is an entertaining and educational book perfect for any werewolf or werewolf fan. The manual-style book is a “how to” for recently turned werewolves. It’s fun and informative, filling you in on things like your first transformation (take off all rings!) to how to deal with those damned vampires. The book also has some great side notes like “Famous Lycs Through Time.”

The book description…

Have you been attacked by a wolf-like creature in the last 30 days? Was it after the sun had set and under a full moon? If you answered, “yes” to both these questions, there’s a very good chance that you were bitten by a werewolf. You now have less than a month before the full moon returns and with it your first transformation into a savage, bloodthirsty beast.
Survival is an option, but first, know this:

  • Werewolves are real.
  • The majority of lycanthropes who do not have access to this book die during or shortly after their first transformations, generally due to heart failure, gunshot wounds, exposure, drowning or suicide.
  • Hollywood horror movies are NOT to be used as guides to living as a werewolf. Their goal is not to educate, but to entertain. As a result, they are largely ignorant of the realities of the condition.
  • Ignorance creates monsters; lycanthropy does not.
  • You are not a monster.


The Werewolf’s Guide to Life cuts through the fiction and guides you through your first transformation and beyond, offering indispensable advice on how to tell if you’re really a werewolf, post-attack etiquette, breaking the news to your spouse, avoiding government abduction, and how to not just survive, but thrive. You cannot afford to not read this book. Your very life depends on it.

Sounds good, right? Now make sure to pick up your copy before the next full moon.

    1. That I don’t know. I have seen it at big bookstore chains but so far no where else. I’d call up the local Walmart and ask :)

  1. The transformations are agonizing. I really thought no human would figure out how they really worked until I read moonlights link on the being human remake. Being human hit bone with this description. If you havn’t seen this video or read the description you should. This is the closest I have seen to what our transformations are like. Plus it is interesting to hear George scream, I don’t think I have ever heard a mans voice screech to that level. Unfortuanatly his screems of pain are accurate to what you’d hear. My only problem with this werewolf tidbit is how the transformation ends. We look nothing at all like that.

  2. I would luvv to have this book! Even though I’m not a werewolf, I would cherish it forever1 I luvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv werewolves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
