Thanksgiving For Werewolves and Other Monstrous Tales
A collection of quirky horror stories by M L Kennedy featuring wrestlers and skin-walkers.
This anthology diverges from standard horror tropes by mixing professional wrestling with supernatural threats. Kennedy uses the premise of a wrestler fighting skin-walkers to explore themes of survival in hostile environments. The inclusion of Dinosaurs versus Cyborgs suggests a fascination with clashing eras and technologies. Quinquagesima introduces historical religious contexts into the mix, adding depth to the supernatural elements. The reimagining of the Pied Piper legend as a bridge troll demonstrates a willingness to twist familiar myths. I'll Be Right Back offers a concise narrative experience within the larger collection. Kennedy’s previous work, The Mosquito Song, provides context for his stylistic approach. The book appeals to those who enjoy genre-blending narratives that refuse to stay within expected boundaries.
