Margaret Atwood, me, and werewolves

Fri, 2012/10/05 - 1:35pm — Douglas Smith

Derek Newman-Stille has an article on "Canadian Werewolves" in fiction on his Speculating Canada site, in which he cites eight examples of Canadian stories and movies of the genre, a list that includes tales from Margaret Atwood, Charles de Lint, Kelly Armstrong, and my own short story "Out of the Light." "Out of the Light" is my take on what sort of shape-shifter might adapt to life as a predator in the big city. If you're interested, you can pick up an ebook copy of the story from my bookstore right here or from Amazon or any of the major ebook retailers. Hope you'll check it out.

Out of the Light

I really enjoyed Out of the Light. It was such an original take on the predator monster idea.

Thanks, Maaja. Shapeshifter stories have always been a favourite of mine, and I wanted to explore what kind of shapeshifter might be able to fit into a cityscape as their natural habitat (because when it comes to strolling down Yonge Street, wolves don't exactly blend). Glad that you liked that one.
