The House of the Wolf of Lugos. While staying at the castle, a huge black wolf is discovered with preternatural powers. When the beast is at last killed with silver bullets, it is found to be part man and part wolf. It was reviewed favorably by Chris Henderson in the December 1983 issue of Dragon Magazine (#80). Henderson praised Copper for having achieved a difficult task in writing a "new, almost fresh, werewolf story". The characters are "fresh and stimulating" and have "an air of realism". In closing, he noted that: "For that fan of horror stories in your household, this novel is a must.".
