If you’re a regular reader, you’ll know that one of my features is Werewolf Wednesday. This started out as a column on werewolf films at Killer Horror Critic, then became a column on werewolf films at my personal blog, and finally became a column on werewolf literature at my personal blog. Right now it’s a serialised trip through Wagner, the Wehr-Wolf, and this’ll be taking up my Wednesdays for most of the foreseeable future.
Looking back, I realised that I’d seen a substantial portion of the werewolf genre’s development. So, if you feel like a deep-dive into all things lycanthropic over the Halloween period, here’s a chronological list of all the works (other than Wagner) I’ve covered in the column.
