Infos

This book explores the evolution of the werewolf’s new identities in contemporary culture, and some of the most interesting developments that have resulted from the werewolf’s new mode of being.

Autor

The monograph is intended for use at university level and presupposes a level of familiarity with cultural theory and Gothic theory. It would be appropriate for use on undergraduate level courses and for anyone conducting research on the contemporary werewolf. However, it will also appeal to those with a greater than average knowledge of the lycanthrope or contemporary horror and fantasy fiction.
