Why would Duffy Waldorff, ace tabloid reporter for the Weekly Globe, even attempt to win the Annual Truth in Tabloid Journalism Award in the first place? What bizarre quest does Duffy pursue in order to become human again after being bitten and turned into a werepossum by one of Mrs. Strangewell's infant possums? How can the werepossumed journalist complete his back to human metamorphosis with a gay biker preacher who wants his soul, a wife who's hobby is nude dancing, and an editor who enjoys watching her do it? The Werepossum Chronicles provides the answers in a dazzling display of zany wit and satire of Howard Rand.

You will read about how young civilian men and boys, in a democracy in time of war, are molded into fighting units and are hardened and inured to the raw brutalities of combat. There will be narratives of personal experiences of American soldiers during "The Battle of the Bulge" that are incredible but true, and unadulterated by the passage of time. The authors, some fourteen in number, are not trying to impress their readers; they are relating the experiences that they will never forget, of men and boys facing death every minute of every hour throughout the battle. What they relate is told to you not for your entertainment, but for only one reason: that those who read about, and thereby realize and personally experience the monstrous dehumanization that is warfare in our times, will do everything in their power to prevent another such disaster from occurring on this earth.
