Fangtastic Tales of Werewolf Savagery

Toneye Eyenot — 2019
La Lluna Plena - the Full Moon - that beautiful and mysterious celestial body which stirs within us all those deep, dark emotions we do our best to subdue and control. For some of us, her influence runs deeper, much deeper. We all walk beneath her maddening rays, yet, while most may shrug off the notion that inside us all resides a beast - a savage wolf - there are those of us who embrace the monster within and ride that lunatic wave with abandon each time she casts her gaze upon us.Some see it as a blessing, others...a curse. To be bitten, and fall prey to murderous urges beyond our control, or to have the good fortune to be born into the pack, or perhaps even to whisper words of spell in order to evoke the lycanthropic gift, there are more than a few ways to cast aside the human skin and let loose the wolf within. Those ways are explored throughout this collection of werewolf terrors.Suspend disbelief, dear reader, because whether you care to admit it, or continue to live in ignorant bliss, we walk among you. We smell the blood as it courses through your veins and taste your fear on the breeze. We long to see the life drain from your quivering flesh as we gorge. Beware the Full Moon, as you are about to enter the world of the Werewolf.~ Toneye Eyenot

Due to my thoughts on Fangtastic Tales of Werewolf Savagery, I feel it’ll be easier for me to break down what worked for me & what didn’t work for me. Fangtastic Tales.. is a short story collection that focuses solely on werewolves; hence the title. What I Liked: Starting at the surface, holy hell @ that cover@?#!@# Listen, we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but Fangtastic Tales of Werewolf Savagery has such amazing artwork! I was instantly drawn in by its color scheme & design. Heckin’ beautiful. I would also like to shout-out Toneye Eyenot for being passionate about their genre. The request e-mail I got from them was so howlin’ fun, I just knew I wanted to work with them. I truly appreciated the variety of each story. Yes, it’s all about werewolves — but there’s so much range between each short. From a drifter clown turned werewolf to a story that plays on werewolves vs. vampires. I absolutely adored Toneye’s creativity & originality. Plus, IT’S A BLOODY GOREFEST, ghouls. I am a true sucker for a story covered in gore. I was definitely not let down when it comes to bloodshed & cringe-worthy moments. My favorite short would have to be the longest of the collection, Blood Moon Big Top. This story focuses on Marbles the Clown who ends up transitioning into a werewolf. I really loved the circus meets werewolf tale aesthetic. However, there are some things I didn’t like about this story (i.e. child death, which some people are able to handle better than others! If you don’t mind a gruesome scene where a child gets mauled by a werewolf, than feel free to ignore this trigger warning). What I Didn’t Like: There was a huge disconnect between story & reader, in my case. Even the longest short, Blood Moon Big Top, had me wanting more of something. This is probably the most-developed of the collection & yet, I didn’t feel anything while reading. A lot of the stories I can barely remember, because although they do thrive with originality, there’s not enough to make it memorable. This story is best for those who just want a quick & fun gore-y time & don’t care much for anything else.
