520    "Long celebrated as a modern master of graphic literature,
       David Small has elicited in his work comparisons to Stan 
       Lee and even Alfred Hitchcock. His internationally 
       acclaimed graphic memoir, Stitches, told the story of a 
       childhood in disarray. Werewolf at Dusk, appearing nearly 
       fifteen years later, turned its attention to the twilight 
       of life and to aging, gracefully or otherwise. Eerily 
       striking and mesmerizing, the three stories in this 
       collection are linked, as Small writes, by the dread of 
       things internal. In the title story, an adaptation of 
       Lincoln Michel's classic short piece, the dread is that of
       a man who has reached senility with something repellant in
       his nature. He--an impotent werewolf, no longer able to 
       hunt--confronts the terror of obsolescence. What do I even
       look like now, he wonders, when the full moon draws out 
       the wolf inside me? The specter of old age also haunts the
       semiautobiographical story "A Walk in the Old City." Brain
       matter cascades and spiders loom as a psychoanalyst, self-
       assured in his practice, wanders along empty streets, 
       reality warping into the irrational with the insouciance 
       of a dream. In the final story, a reinterpretation of Jean
       Ferry's "The Tiger in Vogue," this dreamscape gives way to
       the ominous environs of Berlin in the 1920s. When a 
       peaceful evening at the music hall is interrupted by a 
       garish surprise act, only the protagonist seems to notice.
       Yet he, too, is transfixed by the performance, watching as
       a little man with a moustache, pale skin, and tired eyes 
       wills a tiger into submission. With its sharp lines and 
       vibrant blues and oranges, the artwork recalls Edvard 
       Munch's anguished The Scream, likewise capturing the 
       moment--the dread--before disaster. As fluid as Japanese 
       manga and rife with unsettling imagery, Werewolf at Dusk 
       is a testament to the singular dark genius of David Small"
