Metamorphoses of the Werewolf: A Literary Study from Antiquity Through the Renaissance


Leslie A. Sconduto - 2008
    Beginning with The Epic of Gilgamesh, Ovid's Metamorphoses, and accounts in Petronius' Satyricon, the book analyzes the context that created the traditional image of the werewolf as a savage beast. The Catholic Church's response to the popular belief in werewolves and medieval literature's sympathetic depiction of the werewolf as victim are presented to support a modern view of the werewolf not only as "the beast within," but as a complex and varied cultural symbol.

Into the Mouth of the Wolf


Joshua Dagon - 2008
    As he grew, the lycanthropic outbreak was a constant. During Russell's adolescence he watched with the rest of the world as "outbreak" turned into "epidemic". Now, as an adult, the epidemic had become a pandemic, reaching every nation and turning the scientific community on its head. Still, those unfortunate few who'd been contaminated remained a notable minority. Spectacular research facilities peppered the globe, designed to study the infection. Specially trained urban tactical units protected the population at large, capturing and containing the creatures for analysis until a cure could be developed. All of this fascinated Russell, as it did everyone he knew, but there was an entire global community dedicated to helping the victims of lycanthropic infection and eventually producing a cure. There was no need to panic. At least that was what Russell had been told all his life by television personalities and politicians alike. Just don't do anything stupid. Follow the rules and the odds of encountering an actual werewolf would remain blissfully remote. And so Russell's consideration of werewolves remained passive. It remained passive, that is, until the night he was bitten. Werewolves are real and the world has mobilized, brutally, to crush both the contagion that creates them and the individuals who have become infected. After Russell Shepard narrowly survives a werewolf attack, he is haunted by dreams of a place and time he has never been, and hunted by those who would end his life immediately, without remorse. He is propelled along a path that will bring him face to face with the forces determined to contain and destroy the threat he himself now represents.

Hallowed Moon


S.M. Nelson - 2008
    Out of the corner of her eye she saw a movement. While turning her head in that direction, Stephanie saw the shape move and then suddenly it towered above her. As the shape rose to its full height, fear filled all the nooks and crannies left in her. Before her this thing stretched out its arms and growled. More than anything she wanted to scream but instead stood frozen. Terror drawing her eyes to look closer, she saw the arms were covered in fur; even the hands were strangely formed and not human. If she could have been more scared she would have. She searched her mind for any knowledge and none came, just a blank place in her mind where memories should be. Staring at the nightmare before her, Stephanie had no words. With no idea what to do, she screamed.
