Werewolves in people-suits from Outer Space!
2 years ago
I hit paydirt!
Back in the late 80's or so I read a series titled 'Private School'. It was an odd little thing; basically werewolves, or at least wolf-people, from outer space try to invade a high school. They kill and eat nosy students and teachers as they plot their conquest of all humanity. The standard ragtag pack of meddling kids find out about it and spend six books facing the lupine invasion.
The best part? The wolf-people hide among humans by wearing human suits. Kind of like the Lizards from "V". And several of them in the book form the cheerleader squad for the school. It gets even better when you consider that the wolf-girl cheerleaders were shown as being serious about their cheering. Hey, they may have been inhuman murderous wolf-women hiding among us, but they had school spirit.
Here's the first book on Amazon for those interested:

I was also surprised to learn that the author was Charles L. Grant behind a pseudonym, who used to be a very big name in horror writing. His stuff was all over the paperback racks when I was growing up.
Which I won't be buying.
Still and all, it does say something about how prices have changed in 40 years since the paperback books once sold for $2.50 apiece.
Talking the Private School series, I feel very amused that their collection of werewolves in woman suits as the local cheerleaders is seen as sheer unbridled horror in the book, while most fans would feel something else entirely.
Ya think?
I love perusing old tomes of digi-data, gleaning knowledge and insight from the past.
Guess looking forwards to the past, retro-computing wise is always a fun thing to do.
