Publisher Description
Werewolf fiction denotes the portrayal of werewolves and other shapeshifting man/woman-beasts, in the media of literature, drama, film, games, and music. Werewolf literature includes folklore, legend, saga, fairy tales, Gothic and Horror fiction, fantasy fiction and poetry. Such stories may be supernatural, symbolic or allegorical. A classic American cinematic example of the theme is The Wolf Man (1941) and in later films joins with Frankenstein's monster and Count Dracula, as one of the three famous icons of the modern day horror. However, werewolf fiction is an exceptionally diverse genre with ancient folkloric roots and manifold modern re-interpretations.

Hmmm... Worth it Overall
It was not the usual take I am used to with Werewolves but still and interesting novel nonetheless.
Ridiculously Incredible
If you don't go in for deep, methodical dissection of each character's individual motive and perspective, detailed in various colorful, well-used, descriptive words that can be compared to The Scarlet Letter...
Don't read this book.
But if you do love that stuff, this is the werewolf story for you! It's not light and happy. It's not always easy reading. It's definitely a food-for-thought-inducing book. I totally loved it.
