Excellent- More about Phases of the Moon: A Cultural History of the Werewolf Film
This book examines the cultural significance of the werewolf film, reconsiders the psychoanalytic paradigms that have dominated scholarly discussion, and includes over 40 individual case studies to illustrate how werewolf films can be understood as products of their cultural moment. It reveals the significance of she-wolves and wolf-men as evolving metaphors for the cultural fears and anxieties of their times and serves as a companion and counterpoint to existing scholarship on the werewolf in popular culture.

The cultural significance of the werewolf film is explored in depth in this comprehensive academic monograph, the first of its kind. It reconsiders the psychoanalytic paradigms that have dominated scholarly discussion of werewolves in popular culture and includes over 40 individual case studies to illustrate how werewolf films can be understood as products of their cultural moment. The book identifies the cinematic werewolf's most common metaphorical dimensions, including its association with horror, transformation, and the beast within.
The werewolf film has long been considered little more than a psychoanalytic analogue for the bestial side of man, but this book redresses the balance by exploring over 100 years of werewolf films, from The Werewolf (1913) to Wildling (2018). It reveals the significance of she-wolves and wolf-men as evolving metaphors for the cultural fears and anxieties of their times, serving as a companion and a counterpoint to existing scholarship on the werewolf in popular culture. By understanding the werewolf as a rich and diverse cultural metaphor, we can gain a deeper appreciation for one of our oldest mythical monsters.
