I... want your job. No, really. I should email you about it one of these days.

There are textbooks about werewolves and about fanfic?

You betcha! I've got a shelf full of fanfic and fandom studies books. Most of them are sociological studies, some interdisciplinary collections of essays, and a few take a literary/textual perspective (my favorite). The two that I am most looking forward to reading are Sheenagh Pugh's The Democratic Genre: Fan fiction in a literary context and Hellekson & Busse's edited collection, Fan Fiction and Fan Communities in the Age of the Internet (both pub. 2006).

There don't seem to be nearly as many books on werewolves as on vampires (which is okay with me *g*). The one I have here was a present from [livejournal.com profile] catilinarian. It's called The Complete Book of Werewolves and it's by Leonard R.N. Ashley. So far so mediocre -- would be better if he'd write complete passages instead of breaking his text up into paragraph-long subsections -- but will reserve judgment until the end.

Haven't read the book you mention. Don't know when I'll have time to check it out! So much to read, so very little time.
