This weeks installment of monsters is the furry werewolf. Werewolves and Hellhounds have made a comeback in literature over the past 10 years and they don't show any signs of going away anytime soon. So for this week's monsters that we love we're focusing on man's best friend, or are they? 1. Spookiest novel: The Werewolf of Paris by   Guy Endore     The Werewolf of Paris is both a work of horror and historical fiction so you get the best of both in one book. This novel follows Bertrand Caillet, the werewolf, throughout the tumultuous events of the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune of 1870-71. This is not a book for adolescents, there is incest, rape, and murder in this book. Like much Gothic fiction The Werewolf of Paris opens with a frame story in which the author explains his struggle with the fantastic elements of his tale. The narrator of this story is an anonymous American working on his doctoral research in Paris. He discovers a manuscript in the han...

Are you reading these??!! How many of you following me have read “The Thief that Pulled on Trouble’s Braids” by Michael McClung?  If the answer is none of you then you are missing out one of the best fantasy series I’ve read in a long time. I came across the first book in this series by way of the a followers request. This first book was published in 2012 and there are currently 4 books in the series.  The main protagonist Amra Thety’s is a very skilled thief who finds herself doing something she’d sworn to never do, avenger the death of her only friend. I really fell in love with Amra’s character for a lot of reasons but I’ll only list a few here: 1: She’s a female lead character whose wits and sneak thief abilities are touted more than her looks. The author never describes her as beautiful but as “looking like a boy” and “scarred”. She doesn’t rely on her looks to get the job done she relies on her wits and a strange code of ethics.  2: She’s ...
