I first discovered the werewolf and late night radio talk show Kitty Norville in WEIRD TALES so when I had a chance to buy all the Kitty novels in one volume from the Science Fiction Book Club I jumped at the chance. All three novels are still in print and available elsewhere.
       Kitty And The Midnight Hour starts when Kitty is working the midnight shift at the local radio station. She gets bored and asks if anybody's ever seen the Bat Boy, whose exploits are published in the Wide World of News.
       Only a few minutes later, someone calls in and asks, "Do you believe in vampires?"
       Kitty answers yes and people claiming to be werewolves and vampires start calling into the station.
       The next day Kitty gets called into the station manager's office, thinking she's going to be fired since she was talking instead of playing music.
       No, she doesn't get fired. Ratings skyrocketed and the station wants her to keep doing what she's doing.
       But there are werewolves and vampires who don't like what Kitty is doing; they feel she's drawing unwanted attention to them. The people wanting her to stop the show include Carl, the alpha male of her werewolf pack, and Arturo, the leader of Denver's vampire population.
       A hitman is sent after Kitty, which causes her to reveal the fact that she is a werewolf on the air.
       Also doing the timeframe of the novel, there's a serial killer who's killing women and a local police detective who thinks the killer is a werewolf; she goes to Kitty for help. There's also Elijah Smith, founder and leader of The Church of Pure Faith, who claims to be able to cure people who have become werewolves and vampires. We also meet Dr. Paul Flemming, a scientist who believes that vampirism and lycanthropy are diseases that can be cured, and Senator Joseph Duke. Both of them are very important characters in the second novel of the series, Kitty Goes To Washington.
       In the second novel, Kitty travels to Washington D.C. with her lawyer Ben Farrell in order to testify before a senate committee on the supernatural.
       While in Washington Kitty meets the head vampire Allette, who controls the D.C. police, finds the bar ran by the werewolf Ahmet where all the shapeshifters hang out, and develops a sexual relationship with the werejaguar Luis.
       During the hearings, we meet Roger Stockton, a reporter for Uncharted World, a webzine on the supernatural. We also find out more about what's going on with Elijah Smith and the Church Of Pure Faith.
       Kitty Goes To Washington also contains the short story, "Kitty Meets The Band." In this story, Kitty interviews the band Plague of Locusts, which claims to have a band member who is possessed by a demon. The demon, according to the band, is the reason for their success.
       In the third novel of the series, Kitty Takes A Holiday, Kitty takes a break from the show and goes on vacation, renting a cabin in the woods, but someone doesn't want her there; they keep leaving dead animal carcasses on her doorstep.
       Things get worse when her friend and lawyer Ben Farrell gets bitten by a werewolf and is bought to Kitty by his cousin Cormac, who is the hitman who was hired to kill Kitty in the first book of the series.
       Cormac and Ben have led something something that isn't a werewolf to the small town Kitty's vacationing in. The thing's slaughtering cattle and Kitty gets the blame.
       Then there's Ariel, Princess of Darkness, whose taken over the airwaves now that The Midnight Hour is on hiatus. Kitty keeps calling her competitor's show.
       Though these are short novels, there's a lot going on in each of them and Vaughn does an excellent job of making them work.
