Review : Howl, An Anthology of Werewolves from Women-in-Horror

 

Thanks to Netgalley and Black Spot book for the Advance Reader Copy. It was a great pleasure to read this awesome anthology. 

 

Howl is a darkly beautiful and feminist anthology of short stories and poetry starring female werewolves and animalistic wolfish instinct.

"We fear her because we are her: the feral, the wild, the mad."

It is a collection of beautiful and most of the time, difficult stories of women werewolves, from a transition due to violence, to a mean to escape, the stories show the hard truce of how hard it is to be a woman and how they transform themselves to survive everything. The symbiotic and hard, painful, communion between a wild animalistic nature and a powerful female representation!

These stories are sometimes particularly creepy and hard to read, but so dark and beautiful. I really loved it.

It's emotional, dark, and gut wrenching. An interesting ode to feminism and to all the bumped woman and the queens who managed to transform a difficult past or life, or to those who didn't. 

It's sometimes turning into a monster and sometimes turning into something wild and beautiful as a mean to escape a difficult life, violence and life altering events. Mixing power and strengths to survive. 

I loved some stories more than others but I always found something lovable in every on of the story related in this anthology.

I really recommend this.
