Recently I’ve been reading some werewolf stories. A couple of them were quite good and possibly the type of story that people on this community might like:
In Boobs Suzy McKee Charnas relates lycanthropy to puberty, presumably since both turn people into savage beasts. A girl gets her first period and discoverers some extra unexpected changes happening as well. She doesn’t have many friends at schools but she does have some enemies, and now she’s a wolf…well I think you can imagine what’s going to happen. It’s an engaging story that won Hugo Award in 1990.
Karl Edward Wagner’s One Paris Night is interesting mostly for the setting – Paris in 1840, the time of the Commune and the Prussian siege. A disgraced Prussian officer turned adventurer faces a werewolf in the ruins of a cathedral, and gets some unexpected divine help. Quite a good story.
