I mean, at this point you know what I&#8217;m going to say. Lecouteux&#8217;s field of study is medieval literature, which at first, I thought was weird but then realized made perfect sense. His ability to suss through medieval literature lends itself to making insightful connections between various texts. And now, I love each of his books. Of course, today I&#8217;m discussing a new one, Mysteries of the Werewolf: Shapeshifting, Magic &#038; Protection.<\/p>\n<p>Where to begin with werewolves? Where CAN&#8217;T you? Lecouteux explores historical texts from EVERYWHERE: medieval Europe (of course), early Greece, 20th century Romania, 10th century China, 19th century Russia, 1st century Rome, and I think you&#8217;re starting to get the point. There are so many ways one becomes a werewolf or were-creature. Sometimes it&#8217;s a blessing, many times it&#8217;s a curse. Sometimes it can be undone, or controlled, other times, it&#8217;s a lifetime. Mysteries of the Werewolfexplores it all.<\/p>\n<p>What can I say? Lecouteux does it again.
