Book Cover & Preview Text
On Christmas Eve and a full moon such as they had that night made the werewolf doubly dangerous. The women hated to leave the party even more at that point. They respected the werewolf, but they had a war to fight and they feared their “top kick” even more then the werewolf.
They finally tore themselves away from the group amid showers of tears, blessings, prayers, rosaries, and Hail Mary’s and pagan chants. By this time they were developing their own private qualms and out on the street, in the shadow of the cathedral and the full moon the werewolf became a reality. One of them reported that the natives might be right as coming up that afternoon she had seen a shepherd whose dog had on a spiked collar to protect him from the werewolf. By this time they were outside the gates of the village, they took each other’s hands and ignoring the road they ran straight down the hill. They were inside of the message center in San Leuccio within fifteen minutes instead of the usual hour it took them to get there from the cathedral.
The next morning Maria came to the barracks and in tears threw herself at them and telling them that all of them in the house where the party had been held spent the night in prayer and that is why they had made it back safely. She went on to write that anyone who does not believe in werewolves has never been in Caserta Vecchia during a full moon on Christmas Eve.
