HENRY VIII: WOLFMAN
DIVORCED. BEHEADED. DIED. MAULED. SAVAGED. SURVIVED?
Henry VIII was the best and bloodiest King ever to have sat on the throne of England. This fast-paced, exciting, gory, inventive and just plain gross retelling of his reign will bring to light the real man behind the myth.
When it came to his size, Henry VIII was known for being larger-than-life, with a fearsome temper and bloodthirsty reputation to match; more beast than human, some might say...
Be dragged kicking and screaming back 500 years into Tudor England...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After England's King Henry VIII is bitten while attempting to save his newborn son from a werewolf attack, he starts to have vivid dreams of being a wolf. Never particularly good at controlling his impulses, the king immediately embarks upon a double life of eating the peasantry, which he finds unfortunately fattening. It's exactly the sort of delightful lunacy that one might hope for: Anne Boleyn turns into a gloriously happy werewolf even more ravenous than her new husband; Sir Thomas Moore is unjustly accused of lycanthropy; a pair of dangerously incompetent witchfinders careen across the landscape; and Jane Seymour is secretly a werewolf hunter for the Catholic Church. Humor mixes with horror as Moorat (Queen Victoria: Vampire Hunter) gorily describes babies being devoured and Henry's literal lady-killing. Mashup fans will enjoy this decidedly alternate history.
