Sign in to edit

When Will You Rage? is a fiction anthology for Werewolf: The Apocalypse set mainly in and around San Francisco.

Summary[]

From the White Wolf 1994/1995 Catalog:

When Will You Rage? introduces readers to a new style of werewolf legend, where the "Monsters" are earth's last defenders against the forces of pollution, corruption and the Wyrm.
When Will You Rage? contains stories by Scott Ciencin, Lois Tilton, Owl Goingback, Richard Lee Byers and others.

From the Back Cover:

Doomed Warriors Protecting a Dying World
Long have the Garou of the Western Eye Sept guarded the San Francisco region from the Wyrm's evil. Thus far, the Garou believe their efforts have kept their millennia-long enemy at bay. But their vigil has faded. The Wyrm's murderous minions have insinuated themselves in Silicon Valley, Oakland, Berleley and even the City itself.
The time for watching has passed. The Garou must rise and fight. It is a battle they cannot hope to win, but they fight with courage, determination and an inner rage that relentlessly drives them. Some werewolves have left the safety of the forests and taken the battle to the streets. Now their rage grows even more intense, for they can see firsthand the taint of the Wyrm. Has the corruption infected even their own kind?
When Will You Rage is an anthology of 19 original short stories detailing the lives and battles of San Francisco's werewolves. Follow them as they confront the many guises of the Wyrm.

Memorable Quotes[]

"And the Last Days will see
 Coyote full moon pack: strong, wise
but strange in the ways of Gaia.
Dare you trust them?
Full moon reclaimed,
half moon reborn,
crescent returned,
no moon revealed,
they walk a new path
and follow the old ways.
They bring a new road
and call up the old ones
What will they do?
Who can say?
Wise they are, but hard is their road.
Coyote's children are strange." - Silver Record, "Coyote Full Moon"

Klaus heard a dripping sound and realized it was coming from his wounds. He looked down at the crimson puddles around him as his blood mingled with Max's. He bent over and smeared his palm in the red pool.
Klaus stepped over to the body of Jurgi Hatchet-Thrower, a pure-blooded Get of Fenris. He dripped his other hand into the Garou's blood then stood and thrust both hands into the light. He stared at his scarlet palms, examining the blood.
There was no difference. - "A Sheep in Wolf's Clothing"

"Actually," I said, "the other Garou always told me I had an endearing pixie-like quality. And everyone adored my blueberry muffins." - Erik Mikkelsen, "Wolf Trap"
