This is a finite list of metamorphosis and animal-focused stories which appeared as a recommended reading list in Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling's anthology of such stories, The Beastly Bride. As such, it would be unhelpful to add stories to this list. However, if you know of good stories that could or should have been included here, please note them in the comments!
