In research for reading this story, in which characters dress up as and become werewolves, I attended Furfest, the state’s biggest anthropomorphic animal convention. I’m pleased to see that my negative preconceptions of the “furry” community were largely dispelled, and I have since been doodling sketches of my own “fursona” (which is essentially just me but endowed certain horse appendages).

Werewolf Skin is the sixtieth book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was published in 1997.
