General blog posts for thoughts, discussions, reviews, etc.
The time has come to discuss in depth my very favorite werewolf story! Yes, my favorite werewolf story doesn’t come from modern pop culture. Instead, it comes from medieval literature. So let’s dive right into “Bisclavret,” one of the best werewolf stories ever told. Please note that this post will contain the entirety of “Bisclavret,”…
This month we look at something that’s quite the popular topic in pop culture (or at least it used to be) – vampire hunting! Does the concept of “vampire hunting” have any folkloric precedent, unlike “werewolf hunting”? Stick around and find out! (gif originally made and posted by tumblr user duchessofhastings) So, really, vampire hunting…
Hi, all. Hope you’re doing well! I just wanted to post a quick little update about a few things… First of all, I have deleted my AO3 account. I know several people followed me there and read my work. I apologize profusely for having to delete it, but I did so for personal reasons. The…
You’ve seen the blog series, now it’s time for the book! That’s right, Werewolf Facts is getting published!

Movies, TV shows, video games… and I’m always looking for werewolves in video games, namely ones that don’t suck. I never really found time to do this or motivation to write these kinds of posts/reviews,…
Hello, everyone! There’s a new year not far around the corner! It’s the busiest time of year for me – and probably everyone else – and I have finally decided how to arrange the future of my werewolf/folklore blog, in particular what I run on Tumblr (and crosspost here and elsewhere). I have been trying…
It’s that time of year when the things I love the most get noticed and celebrated at least a little by everybody else (even though corporations still hate creating typical Halloween products that actually include werewolves; seriously go check your local department store, it’s been this way since I was a tiny tiny child)… Happy…

I’m finally doing something I’ve always wanted to do – I now have my own fully in-character roleplaying server in the video game Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition! What does that mean? It means there’s now a big privately hosted public server you can hop into and start roleplaying immediately! Go check out NWN EE on…
