Like, I don’t think I have to explain how perfect an analogy lycanthropy is for a period, so why is it that the only real films exploring that are Ginger Snaps and maybe Turning Red if you stretch the definition. I get that there are female werewolves in media but they’re usually side characters with little depth.
I’d also say werewolves are typically presented as a masc thing, like the whole juvenile “dogs are boys, cats are girls” presentation in a lot of media, but even that could lead to some interesting storytelling with typically masc characters having to go through a very fem experience.
Please, we cannot let the only deep exploration of lycanthropy and sexuality in mainstream media be Joannas botched attempts to make it an analogy for aids and then have a character attack and infect children. So I guess this is a stupid question and a call for requests.
This is why I hate the interwebs.
Instead of having a pleasant surprise in 2027, I’ll be annoyed for the next 10 months.
Thanks a lot, pal!

Sorry, I actually finished reading it a few months ago and really look forward to it. Alternatively I would suggest the book, “The Tainted Cup” by Robert Jackson Bennett. It’s a fantasy spin on Sherlock Holmes and after reading it and the sequel it’s fantastic. Third book comes out in august 😆.
Since you mentioned Holmes
“The 7% Solution” novel written by Nicholas Meyers, who also directed the film version. It takes the combined efforts of Drs. Watson and Freud to get Holmes over his cocaine addiction.
