Product Description

Hilda Brooks is literally fading away from her anorexia/bulimia disorder—and losing whatever self-esteem she had. An attack by a werewolf in New York City not only changes Hilda into a fierce animal during nocturnal rampages, but impacts her “normal” life as well. Suddenly Hilda’s eating disorder becomes a thing of the past. She evolves socially, no longer avoids people—rather she pursues them! Never again the “doormat”, Hilda changes into a viable, assertive, twenty-first century woman. She is now a “Wolfbitch,” empowered and emboldened. Hilda no longer fears food, she worships it—in the human form.

Morbid Cravings is but one woman’s journey into the often-troubled world of human relationships. It offers a pleasurable and frightening read, reaching beneath the surface of illusions to the tortured wellspring of prevalent and visible illnesses in today’s world—illnesses suffered by so many women of all ages in all walks of life. This novel fosters a refreshingly new feminist outlook to the arena of werewolves and horror alike.

1.0 out of 5 stars Inspires the Gag Reflex..., December 27, 2008
By Zoe (Richmond. MN USA) - See all my reviews
Wow-after subjecting myself to this mediocre rendering, I am forced to conclude that the previous (cloying and predictably overly wordy) review was in fact submitted by one of the authors herself. Seriously! Pass on this one!

4.0 out of 5 stars Original Werewolf Twist!, December 9, 2006
This book is very original in the way it uses the imaginary werewolf horror genre to illuminate the genuinely horrifying and all too real problem of eating disorders. The book has achieved this distinction by combining the expertise of Gladys Furphy who is a therapist specializing in anorexia and bulimia problems with the fantasy creativity of poet Jessica James. Morbid Cravings is a perfect title because the Wolfbitch heroine's murderous binges when she is transformed into a wolf are the mirror image of the murderous deprivation she has previously visited on her starving self. If you have experienced the eating disorders or know someone who has, you will be really fascinated with the perceptions in the book. And if you just like a classic werewolf tale you'll be delighted with the imaginative twists of this one! The ending is enigmatic you'll be left hungry for more!
