SNAFU brought the pain.

SNAFU: Wolves at the Door will bring the bite, with soldiers fighting for their lives against were-animals.

* * * * *

In the blackest night or under the full moon, danger is lurking.

It’s survival at all costs when you’re fighting against an enemy that could tear you apart — or convert you to the other side.

Against the backdrop of an untamed wilderness or the dark depths of the city, the ultimate clash between the forces of man and nature rages on.

Whether battling the monster within or a war around them — these soldiers may find the cost could prove too great.

From the darkness of the abyss to the subtle shift of shadows dwell creatures that prey on us all.

Be they straight-up monsters or nightmares behind a human mask, they track us and they kill us.

Sometimes, they play with their food, where death would be a kindness. But there is hope.

There are those who search out the monsters, those who hunt the hunters.

These are their stories.
