Crossen's book is a welcome addition to the growing body of criticism on werewolves, that fruitfully explores the multiple facets of the contemporary werewolf-as-subject, drawing attention to a wide range of popular fiction hitherto neglected by academic criticism. --Catherine Spooner, Lancaster University Crossen's transformative book leads the pack of recent studies on werewolves. Rejecting the traditional 'beast within' paradigm, she makes a persuasive case for the role and importance of these monsters in the contemporary period and positions them as key Gothic characters in cultural negotiations of subjectivity. --Xavier Aldana Reyes, Manchester Metropolitan University

Author Information

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.
