Werewolves couldn't be killed. A bullet was no use against them. Only silver. The creature's weight pinned his arms effectively to his sides. Sharply pointed teeth gleamed above his throat, slavering a thin mist of hate.
Simon Merrivale owns a mysterious mask and headdress, just some items that he picked up in an old London curio shop.
The legend is that whoever comes into contact with them will find their body taken over by a long-dead Shaman at full moon.
One night, Merrivale is dragged from his home, and he and the relics are taken to an isolated mansion.
There, Ernest Caltro and his followers prepare to conduct a Black Mass with Merrivale as its human sacrifice.
And when the full moon has risen and Caltro has undertaken his monstrous transformation, Merrivale's time will be up.
Can Simon's friends Richard Blake and Stephen Nayland mount a rescue mission in time?
