One might say this about monsters, but that would be a clumsy way of missing the point. The Werewolf Diaries is concerned, rather, with what happens when the self begins to fracture under the pressure of time, fear, and memory. The moon is present, yes, and the forest, and the sudden terror of teeth in the dark—but these are merely the outer garments of something far more intimate. Here the werewolf is not simply a creature that prowls; it is a consciousness divided against itself. By day, the mind arranges its thoughts neatly—work, love, regret, the steady ticking of ordinary hours.
