Quote of the Hour: Everybody's Got Problems

[A bit of paper] tumbled in air, plastered itself against a tree, and then continued on its way. It read:

This is the story of a werewolf in a great city in the present time. It is the story of the hopes and dreams of a boy whose future is limited to biting strangers and running through the streets. It is the story of a soul on fire, a youth of pure heart and low morals. It is the story of one who knows not what he does.

The page was the beginning of The Sorrows of Young Werewolf by K.E. Kelman, PH., a romantic account of the life of a werewolf. The book had been reviewed as a monstrosity, and was banned in most cities. Even that did not help its sales.
