An apology to "women who run with the wolves"
17 years ago
My last entry was wayyyy too vague!
I owe an apology to the book "Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype" for confusing it with the book "Women Who Run With the Werewolves: Tales of Blood, Lust and Metamorphosis"
I have not read "women who run with the wolves" but I HAVE had the dubious pleasure of reading "women who run with the werewolves" as I ran across it in my voracious werewolf lit days. And it's hard to be a worse book/anthology than "women who run with the werewolves" so I speculate I have very wrongly maligned the "wolves" version. (Although, I'd not be surprised if the title similarity were intentional on the "werewolves" part!)
Women who run with the werewolves is - wait for it - an angry lesbian werewolf anthology in the worst possible way. I've read a chunk of various feminist and gender study literature by now, and it may be one of the best menstruation-obsessed, man-hating/stereotyping collections the genre has to offer! (to be PC, I'm sure I would be equally unfond of penis-obsessed woman-hating gay man literature but I really haven't read much of that)
If you don't believe me, look inside at the sample XD The only good story was "boobs" and that appears in several other, better, anthologies.

Ahhh, I coulda made this rant so much funnier, quick someone post excerpts! XD
A lot of werewolf fiction is just awful. I've read very, very few werewolf stories over the years that I thought were very good - or that even passed basic standards of literacy.
