Essential Werewolf by Night #1

On his eighteenth birthday, Jack learns the truth about his family’s cursed bloodline from his dying mother, a revelation that casts doubt on her sudden death—and makes him suspect his stepfather may be to blame. As the weight of the curse settles in, Jack must confront a past he never knew he was part of.

In "Lo, the Monster Strikes!", Jack and Topaz race against time to reclaim Phillip Russell’s mind from the clutches of the malevolent Taboo and Algon, uncovering truths that challenge Jack’s deepest suspicions. As ancient forces stir and the line between monster and man blurs, one question remains: what does it mean to be human when the past refuses to stay buried?

In "Death of a Monster!", the mystery of Baron Russoff’s curse unfolds through a haunting flashback that reveals the dark origins of his transformation. In the present, Jack and Topaz find themselves caught in a deadly clash with Dracula, who is determined to reclaim a long-lost book tied to the cursed Baron.

Greer Nelson, once known as Cat, awakens as Tigra, a feline warrior bound by ancient blood and fury. Now caught between two worlds, she joins forces with the Werewolf By Night to free the Cat People from Hydra’s grasp.
