Michael Swanwick's Only Writing Advice You'll Ever Need

"Unternehmen Werwolf" by Carrie Vaughn

Fritz is a Nazi spy and a werewolf--one of several working for the Reich.  His job is to assassinate traitors, collaborators.  However, his mark has supernatural abilities of her own, and she will focus his energies on what he truly wants.

Not a horror story, but a story that takes the horror out of monsters--admirable.
