The Christmas Werewolf

By Dean Shearer

Tom hasn't turned into a werewolf and killed anyone for a whole year, so things are looking up. 
But then he goes back to his hometown to spend Christmas with his family, where he quickly learns it's a lot harder to be nice when there's not a bunch of annoying people around.
Tom better control himself, or this will be one bloody Chrimstas. 
Like werewolves but also want to get in the Christmas spirit? Then this is just the story for you.
