Beschreibung

A Library Journal Best Horror Book of 2025!!! Flesh splits. Bones break. Screams build. The synchronicity of woman and wolf has long been buried. Ruled by the moon and her cycles of blood, rage, and transformation, the desire and pull to shapeshift and transmute runs deep beneath her skin. She is a beacon of duality, the divine and the monstrous, the deep glow of wolfsbane and the indent of fresh bite marks on skin. We fear her because we are her: the feral, the wild, the mad. "This searing anthology mixes the feminine with the feral... the repressed wilderness within women that manifests through fangs and claws is a consistent revelation and the cumulative effect is devastating." -Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW "Raw and emotional, this anthology plumbs the depths of women's spirits to give voice to their anger, fear, and hunger as they reclaim their agency." -Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW From Angela Carter's "The Company of Wolves" to Rachel Harrison's Such Sharp Teeth, women have been dancing with the wolf and teasing it out of the woods for centuries. We feed the untamed, hoping to release the beast inside, giving us strength, sisterhood, and the confidence to howl. The animal releases us from shame and permits us to seek out and accept our truth. With the wolf, we are free; with freedom, we are empowered. In a world where silver is the least of our worries, HOWL seeks to give voice to the wolves and women of contemporary horror as they shed their skin, unhinge their jaws, and bare their teeth for all to see. From award-winning editors Lindy Ryan and Stephanie M. Wytovichcomes HOWL, a brand-new anthology of original stories and poems from women of contemporary horror who give voices to wolves as they shed their skin, unhinge their jaws, and bare their teeth for all to see. Featuring Delilah S. Dawson, Christina Henry, Gwendolyn Kiste, Ai Jiang, and many more, with an introduction by Rachel Harrison.
