Where Wolf?

Oh Grandma, what big hype you have!

Recently, and to my own disapproval, vampires and werewolves have become media whores. Once relegated to the shadows and the recesses of the imagination, one can’t throw a cross without impaling a creature of the night.

Since I was a kid I have had a love affair with werewolves. My mother’s penchant for B-movies was widely known around the neighborhood, and on Saturdays, rather than playing outside in the soggy New England humidity, my peers and I would find excuses to go inside and catch the Creature Double Feature broadcast out of Boston. In the days before cable television, the static and broken television signal only added to the creepiness. It was there I was introduced to Lon Chaney’s Wolfman. There is something innately sad about werewolves. Perhaps it is the gypsy curse, the uncontrollable feral instinct in all of us, or the lack of respect that they get in film and literature; always second string to the much more romantically ridiculous vampires. In lit, there are a few great werewolf stories, Cycle of the Werewolf by Stephen King and Bernie Wrightson Sharp Teeth by Toby Barlow, the Lonely Werewolf Girl by Martin Millar.

Millar’s wolves are a huge dysfunctional royal family. They have class and sophistication, but squabble over regency, traitors, and fashion. It does what intelligent horror should, it holds a mirror to society and reveals that we are not too different from the creatures of our nightmares.

The recent surge in YA fiction fails to do this – Lesser authors replace scathing social commentary and wry humor with romanticism and bodice ripping yarns of young love. Millar’s wolves are able to function as symbols for the ridiculousness of society, others writer’s fumble about with a mythos of inaccurate plot devices. Not to mention a writing style designed for the intellectually deprived.

Find yourself a copy of Millar’s fiction if you have not already and find out for yourself. Symbolism, metaphor, and allegory can be far more frightening that long yellow teeth.
