You Look Lost, Pup by Rob MacWolf Early fall. A werewolf pack, in procession, on the highway. From campground to crossroad, from state line to state park, from motel to mountain pass to mourning they chase not just their grief, but a question: how did they each get there, and who will bring them home? Because each looks in the mirror and says... And then, late spring. A lone wanderer, with more hope than is wise and less time than he knows, carrying what he believes to be good news but which is really a question, saying to all who will listen... At last, high summer. A young werewolf feels, with all the desperation of youth, that he's waited all his life to find the place he belongs, if only he can find the right person to say to him... And you, as well, who read this now. You look lost, pup. |

Of Late Belonging by Rob MacWolf Dying is simple. It is always a more complex thing to sustain oneself. Roy Enderlin has lived the simple life of a gay wolf in a small town. Isolated, lonely, and without ever questioning the assumption that the husky he dated in high school was his only chance at love and belonging. Though he doesn't have it in him to try again, he can't help wanting to belong, as a starving wolf can't help but want food. Graham Faulkner lives the complex life of a promiscuous older gay puma in a rural backwater, balanced between possum boyfriends, beaver boyfriends of boyfriends, raccoon husbands-in-all-but-name, not to mention kinky hookups. Graham has everything he needs from life. Roy does not. But fixing a life will not be a simple thing, and Roy will have a lot to learn about himself before he can feel like he again belongs. |
