For werewolves, Blood and Chocolate, 99% for the ending since I remember it being pretty awesome right up till then.

I loved this book when I was younger but I never considered the ending in that light before.

Shiver. Shiver, Shiver, Shiver.

[zonko_rose]

seconding Shiver for werewolves

[darkmanifest]

Ravenous, by Ray Garton, in which lycanthropy is sexually transmitted, so of course, it's full of bestiality rape.

[psychedeliceyes]

Oh dear.
