Summary

Bad news: A Werewolf in Riverdale by Caleb Roehrig is not a tie-in to the CW show Riverdale, but rather to the town of Riverdale from the Archie comics. Well--from the Archie Horror comics. Good news: we once again teamed up with J. and Collision from I Don't Even Own a Television to tackle the big questions raised by this novel, most importantly: did you know that Jughead's little hat is called a "whoopee cap," and when Jughead transforms into a werewolf, does he still wear his whoopee cap?
