Résumé

There's more to being a wolf than howling at the moon! This Gothic Fantasy volume blends modern werewolf tales with medieval folklore and mythology. Explore Old English origins, Norse legends like Fenrir, and Slavic myths of stolen wolf-skins. A stunning new book with tales of humans, wolves, power, identity, horror, and romance.



There's more to being a wolf than just howling at the moon! Stories about werewolves, shapeshifting humans, rivalries and alliances between vampyr and werewolves abound in this new volume in the Gothic Fantasy series, bringing modern stories from short submissions to mix with the folklore and mythology of medieval times. The word 'were' traces back more than a thousand years, coming from the Old English 'wer', meaning Man, then combined with wolf but here you'll also find old Norse legends such as Fenrir (born of Loki), prophesied to defeat Odin at Ragnarök, and early Slavic myths and rituals in which were-wolf skins are removed and stolen. New stories explore wolves which might have been human, changing by choice at the howl of the moon, or people cursed and damned to be wolves for all time. Is that why the lone wolf is alone? The wolfish grin is a little shy? Is that why we wolf down our food? Is there a wolf inside us all, in the forests around us, hunting us, haunting us, protecting itself and its kind? It's a glorious new book of power and identity, horror and romance.
