Cherie Black | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Kitsune. Werewolves. Crane wives. Selkies. Every culture has stories of such
strange creatures — animals turning into humans, humans shapeshifting into
animals. Sometimes seductive, sometimes bloodthirsty, but always unpredictable
like nature itself, these beings are manifestations of our secret hearts, our
desire to belong to both worlds: one tame and civilized, the other unfettered
and full of wild impulse. Here are stories that will make you wish you could
howl at the moon until your heart bursts with longing or feel yourself shedding
your human body as easily as a snake sheds its skin. Beware the night...it might
not kill you, but it will certainly steal you away!
