<p>‘The chapters address many of the standards in werewolf literature but, ultimately, they strive to <i>challenge </i>this canon, arguing both that werewolf literature is not restrictively a masculine archetype and that feminist studies of the wild woman should not simply sweep she-werewolves under the monstrous feminine rug. But by the end even with these complications – and contradictions – they merge at last, readers will find, into a multifaceted beast who stares readers in the eye and grins wickedly, hungrily. For, after all, like the adolescent protagonist giggling in the burly wolf’s arms in Angela Carter’s “The Company of Wolves”, “[we are] nobody’s meat”.’<br />Jonathan W. Thurston, Michigan State University, Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research<br /><br />‘Overall, the collection delivers on its promise to “take ... a specific and localised approach, revealing historical, literary, cinematic and folkloric contexts for iterations of the female lycanthrope” ... In general, the volume, both in its entirety and as individual chapters, will interest cultural historians, English and comparative literature scholars, and film/media and area studies specialists, and could be employed in lower-level and upper-division courses on the topic.’<br />Svitlana Krys, MacEwan University, HNet Online</p>
