How to Keep a Werewolf

How to Keep a Werewolf and Other Exotic Pets Which May or May Not A) Exist or B) Eat You

A hilarious guide to the care and feeding of cryptozoological and mythological creatures, from the relatively benign phoenix to the terrifying Loch Ness Monster.

This is a humorous book which starts from the premise that there are many benefits to owning a pet, but acknowledges that not everyone is content with conventional animals such as cats and dogs. In fact, the very adventurous pet owner might prefer a pet that is so exotic that it technically doesn’t exist. This book suggests, therefore, that the reader may want to opt for a crypto-zoological or mythological creature.

The main problem with owning such an animal is knowing how to look after it. A brief glance through the local paper will reveal a startling lack of adverts offering baby bigfoots free to a good home, and there is little in the way of obedience classes for werewolves. What, you may ask, does one feed a baby Mongolian Death Worm? Is the giant squid a good choice of pet if you live in a penthouse flat?
