Kaja sat down with Lindsay and I this month to discuss how scholars typically focus on the “were” in the term werewolf, but she wants us to bring more focus to the “wolf” aspect. Why are we fascinated by the prospect of becoming a wolf, and why do coyotes captivate us when they come into cities? In her new book, The Ecogothic Werewolf in Literature: Wolves, Woods and Wilderness, she tells us what werewolves tell us about ourselves and about wolves themselves. Recorded right after Halloween, this episode is a spooky one!
