Comments

Agreed! Many of the "original" stories from the 16th century are of people who for various reasons seek the power to becone werewolves, and its not considered a morally good choice. With today's serial killers, terrorists, and others, we need a monster who chooses evil rather than just being understood.

My favorite dracula / werewolf / monster stories are those where someone chooses to be a monster. The whole attack (rape) and tainted blood (miscegenation) trope is important and pointed and . . . gets boring. So I'm most interested in our child of sin. The killer who justifies his monstrousness. Lives among us. There's something of the original meaning of monster in there.
