In The Compleat Werewolf And Other Stories Of Fantasy And Science Fiction, did you enjoy ...

... the blend of humor and supernatural absurdity?

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

If you loved the witty banter and clever comedic touches in The Compleat Werewolf, you'll be delighted by Good Omens. Gaiman and Pratchett team up to deliver a hilarious tale of an angel and a demon teaming up to prevent the apocalypse, packed with sharp dialogue and satirical takes on both the mundane and the magical.

... the unexpected plot twists and genre-blending surprises?

The Unpleasant Profession Of Jonathan Hoag by Robert A. Heinlein

If the quirky transformations and startling turns in The Compleat Werewolf kept you guessing, The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag will provide that same thrill. Heinlein’s novella spirals from a simple detective job into surreal, reality-bending mysteries, leaving you constantly surprised by where the story goes next.

... the whimsical use of magic in everyday settings?

The Circus of Dr. Lao by Charles G. Finney

If you enjoyed how Boucher introduced magical chaos into the ordinary world—a werewolf professor, outlandish transformations—then The Circus of Dr. Lao is a must-read. A mystical circus arrives in a small Arizona town, and every act is more unexpected and fantastical than the last, all delivered with a sense of wonder and sly humor.

... the focus on a small, eclectic ensemble of characters?

The Big Time by Fritz Leiber

If you liked how The Compleat Werewolf gathered a cast of oddball allies and foes around its protagonist, you’ll enjoy The Big Time. Leiber’s novel is set almost entirely in one room, where a motley group of time warriors, aliens, and shapeshifters interact, banter, and reveal secrets, all while the fate of reality hangs in the balance.

... the irreverent, playful tone and satirical approach to fantasy tropes?

Bring Me the Head of Prince Charming by Roger Zelazny and Robert Sheckley

If Boucher’s tongue-in-cheek approach to fantasy creatures and genre conventions tickled your fancy, Bring Me the Head of Prince Charming will too. Zelazny and Sheckley send up fairy tales and cosmic wagers with mischievous wit, featuring demons, angels, and a contest to decide the fate of the world—all with a gleefully subversive edge.
