Great Werewolf Liturature
When Will You Rage is a book for both werewolf and RPG fans, requiring no knowledge of the Werewolf: The Apocalypse, as a lexicon at the end of the book is provided. This is a collection of 19 different stories related to the Garou, werewolves who fight to protect nature from the forces of the Wyrm. Includes one full-page illustation per chapter.

Some great fiction in the Werewolf universe
As some of the other reviews have cried about, not all stories in this anthology follow the game or the game mechanics to the letter. Some of them take liberties. If you want something that sticks to the "rules" exactly, read the rule books. White Wolf has always espoused that if you want to change the rules then do so. So why not in the fiction also? After all, this is an anthology of stories by different authors... not a completely in-house book.

This book is chock full of great stories that take place in Werewolf. I remember that one story is continued in the Essential World of Darkness. Some of the stories skirt around the canon of Werewolf, but then again it was written in Wewrewolf's infancy, before a lot of the canon was revealed to the consumers. So the stories need to be taken at face value. If you're an open-minded reader that won't cry over how "faithful" to the rules a story is, then by all means read this book!

Just a note reviewers probably didn't know
I wrote one of the stories in the anthology, and I can report that at least *some* of the problems with inaccuracy in, say, knowing the correct form to use when describing Crinos, is due to a global search and replace gone horribly awry.
The terms Homid, homid and human all meant different things at the time of 1st edition Werewolf. But a global search and replace was done that turned all instances of "homid" into "human." Since Homids are most certainly not human and a Red Claw can take homid form, you can imagine how much problem this caused.
There may have been other editing errors-- this is the one I noticed in my own story.
