The Werewolf Primer

A book that lies somewhere between a children's storybook, an historical primer, a surreal fairy tale, and an intro to werewolves.I want to take you back to a world that never was. I want you to walk with me on the cobblestone streets of a New Orleans of a hundred plus years ago. We can nod a friendly greeting to a Victorian wererabbit or consult with a dignified weretiger as he pauses in his stroll through the French Quarter.I have created a surreally different alternate past, where zebra cats frolic in the Garden District and rub the ankles of a walking china doll. Dignified Creole ladies lunch on animal hearts and wear human masks in order to enjoy the Carnival season. This is the New Orleans that might have been: a city complete with a Mississippi River monster and a Raven widow mourning in the middle of Jackson Square.
