The Dancing Wolfeman

by Rick London

Editor's pick - 2026 Reading Challenge

ABOUT THIS BOOK

The Dancing Wolfeman, Volume I: Beast Magic, drops us into a moonlit San Francisco where the howling is set to a beat. Rick London takes the oldest monster in the book and hands him a set of decks, turning a tale of transformation into something joyful, funny and strangely moving.

Beneath the humour is a story about accepting the part of yourself you were taught to fear, and finding the crowd that cheers for it anyway. Fast, loud and warm-hearted, it is the sort of book that gets passed around a reading circle until the spine gives up.

THEMES IN THE BOOK

Beast & Moonlight

Transformation as freedom rather than curse, told with mischief and warmth.

Rhythm & Nightlife

A soundtrack of decks, dance floors and the hum of a city that never quite sleeps.

Comedy & Heart

Laughs that arrive fast, and a surprisingly tender centre underneath them.
