One of the Reasons for Writing Werewolf and Idol

Werewolf and Idol

One of the reasons why I wrote Werewolf and Idol was that I was curious about the werewolf myth. What does it mean? Where does it come from? It’s been around for centuries. Are we missing some of its depth?

“From Plato with his Utopianism, confident in the power of man to change his state, and Aristotle with his insistence upon the supremacy of reason and proven fact, right down to the constructive effort and science of today we have seen the human mind feeling its way to creative freedom. And always the forces of instinctive conservatism, of privilege and dogmatic authority has resisted or prevented that advance.”
