I was thinking about werewolves. Maybe not your everyday passing thought, but in my world werewolves come up a lot. The first book I ever read featuring werewolves was Stephen King’s Cycle of the Werewolf. I couldn’t tell you now where I came across the book, but I can say it was not mine and I was probably too young to be reading it. The illustrations were the initial hook. Vivid, rich colors pulled me in and I’ve been hooked on werewolves ever since. But like the cycle of the Moon I don’t always read werewolf fiction. My craving comes and goes. Here’s some of my favorites, in no particular order:
Cycle of the Werewolf – Stephen King
Moon Dance – S.P. Somtow
Blood and Chocolate – Annette Curtis Klause
Bitten, Stolen and Broken – Kelley Armstrong
Shiver, Linger – Maggie Stiefvater
Darker than you Think – Jack Williamson (A classic)
Frostbite – David Wellington
Crux, Crossroads (and soon Deadlock) – Moira Rogers
Books I’d like to read:
Wolf Moon – Charles de Lint
Overwinter – David Wellington
Frostbitten – Kelley Armstrong
13 to Life – Shannon Delaney
The Mercy Thompson Series – Patricia Briggs
Alpha and Omega Series – Patricia Briggs
And so many more!

Oh, I haven’t – though I’m familiar with the author. Will have to add those to my ongoing list. Thank you!
Have you hear about or read – Benighted by Kit Whitfield. Shes up for the World Fantasy Award this year. I have heard a bunch of great things about this werewolf book. Except for the fact that they changed the name which was BareBack in the UK….
Wonder why they changed the name? lol…
Love your wolf drawing. ๐
Thank you. ๐
I have heard of it, only because I saw she was up for the award and did a little research. I see so many books in a month. It’s difficult to keep track of them all! Benighted is another I need to add to my list.
