Book excerpt: In the tradition of Colson Whitehead’s Zone One, a visionary debut novel about shelter, escape, family, violence, and dumpster-diving It’s the story of a restless group of young squatters. They’ve run away from their families and their pasts, questing after knowledge of their most wild selves, roaming the half-empty suburbs of America, occupying the homes of the foreclosed or vacationing, never staying in one place long enough to attract attention, while shoplifting beer at the local Speedy Stop. They’re building a new society with new laws, and no one will stand in their way. But utopias are hard work, and as Rules for Werewolves unfolds, these young revolutionaries discover that it’s much easier to break laws than to enforce them. Narrated in the shifting perspectives of the pack, Rules for Werewolves follows a community of drifters on the move, who seek a life in a wilderness that, by definition, has no room for them, and a freedom for which they may not be entirely prepared. Kirk Lynn’s debut novel is a hilarious and deeply moving story of people trying—and failing—to create a new life. At once a fractured fairy tale and a haunting vision of American disaffection, Rules for Werewolves marks the arrival of a fierce new talent.

Download or read book The Flaming Sword written by David R. Brown and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the Neolithic revolution, a pervasive phantom has haunted humanity. It neither rustles nor rattles, nor moans upon the moors. Rather, its apparition is accompanied by the continuous, unbroken rasp of the human race, who, unified in dread, have emitted one solemn plea to a world rent asunder by evil and the abandonment of reason. That sound is the question why? All people have asked this, when evil overtakes them. Formal attempts have been carefully deliberated, for twelve thousand years, to resolve this gripping human dilemma: why is there wrong and suffering. And more tormentingly, why, if there is a God, does evil exist? How can it exist? Many have the answer, only to be turned away. Now, it can be answered. Everyone has heard the story of Adam and Eve, their fall from God, and the angel posted at Paradise to turn them away. The story of fallen, broken man is well known, and his journey through a world wracked with madness and pain is well documented. But what if the real story was skipped over by the narrative? What if the angel at the gates of Paradise was only a figurehead of something much larger? The Flaming Sword is a guard to a gate: but the guard is more than a mere angel, and what it guards is more than the perfect place. It guards perfection itself. Like the angel at Eden, it is programmed to attack whatever nears it charge, including mankind. Be warned, and take heed: for the answer may be far more haunting than the question ever dreamed.

Download or read book The Modern Literary Werewolf written by Brent A. Stypczynski and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-05-16 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, from at least as far back as the Epic of Gilgamesh, mankind has shown a fascination with physical transformation--especially that of humans into animals. Tales of such transformations appear in every culture across the course of history. They have been featured in the Western world in the work of such authors as Ovid, Petronius, Marie de France, Saint Augustine, Jack Williamson, Charles de Lint, Charaline Harris, Terry Pratchett, and J. K. Rowling. This book approaches werewolves as representations of a proposed shape-shifter archetype, examining, with reference to earlier sources, how and why the archetype has been employed in modern literature. Although the archetype is in a state of flux by its very definition, many common threads are linked throughout the literary landscape even as modern authors add, modify, and reinvent characteristics and meanings. This is especially true in the work of such authors examined in this book, many of whom have struck a chord with a wide range of readers and non-readers around the world. They seem to have tapped into something that affects their audiences on a subconscious level.

Download or read book The Nature of the Beast written by Carys Crossen and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The werewolf in popular fiction has begun to change rapidly. Literary critics have observed this development and its impact on the werewolf in fiction, with theorists arguing that the modern werewolf offers new possibilities about how we view identity and the self. Although this monograph is preoccupied with the same concerns, it represents a departure from other critical works by analysing the werewolf’s subjectivity/identity as a work-in-progress, where the fixed and final form is yet to be arrived at – and may never be fully accomplished. Using the critical theories of Deleuze and Guattari and their concepts of ‘multiplicities’ and ‘becoming’, this work argues that the werewolf is in a state of constant evolution as it develops new modes of being in popular fiction. Following on from this examination of lycanthropic subjectivity, the book goes on to examine the significant developments that have resulted from the advent of the werewolf as subject, few of which have received any sustained critical attention to date.

Download or read book Werewolves and Other Shapeshifters in Popular Culture written by Kimberley McMahon-Coleman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, shapeshifting characters in literature, film and television have been on the rise. This has followed the increased use of such characters as metaphors, with novelists and critics identifying specific meanings and topics behind them. This book aims to unravel the shapeshifting trope. Rather than pursue a case-based study, the works are grouped around specific themes--adolescence, gender, sexuality, race, disability, addiction, and spirituality--that are explored through the metaphor of shapeshifting. Because of the transformative possibilities of this metaphor and its flexibility, the shapeshifter has the potential to change how we see our world. With coverage of iconic fantasy texts and a focus on current works, the book engages with the shapeshifting figure in popular culture from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
