Anyone have anything related to werewolf folklore?

Read The Tale Of Satampra Zeiros and report back - he's like a more worldly, morbid and exotic HP Lovecraft. Or for something shorter, The Last Incantation. There's no best order. One thing to note is that different settings have different tone/style, so the Averoigne stories are a pastiche of medieval tropes, Hyperborea stories tend to be more wry and ornate (and will make you reach for a dictionary a lot more than the other stories), Zothique morbid. Then there is the Lovecraftian/contemporary stories and science fiction; the Vaults Of Yoh-Vombis is my favourite of these.

Yes it's a problem of overcoming cliches and I might have included zombies in things I avoid. If I was a writer I would consider drawing on modern folklore and crypto-zoology to avoid the weight of history and convention: el chupacabra, dogman (admittedly lycanthropes under a new name), grinning man, black eyed children, skunk apes, etc.
