Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I feel that The Wolves of Willoughby Chase arrived on the literary scene just too early to take advantage of the briefly popular mashing up of classic literature tales with a monster. Its themes channelling the tropes of "rich orphan exiled into poverty by evil relative/family friend" are intertwined with those of the savage wolf in the forests and shadows, contrasting the savagery of the wild with the idea that the real enemy is the terrifying malice inherent in the human soul which was present in classic werewolf tales; and the necessitude of perseverance in the face of oppression being essential to winning freedom; all based in an alternate history constructed world. Thus it missed the boat of the more well known and more direct mashups, such as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, in that it blazed its trail too early and too indirectly, meaning a bunch of utter fucking morons would fail to understand a simple analogy such as "Jane Eyre with Werewolves" as shorthand despite the obvious building blocks used to construct it. You nitpicking cunts!

Oh I had completely forgotten about this book! I remember trying to read it in elementary school but either I got distracted or didn't like it. I may have to try it again.

I think we had this secret before. I remember people being baffled that someone thought this book had werewolves.

It's not a repeat secret.

[(Anonymous)]

We had a secret about the same book, and this secret is in reference to the responses from that secret.

Cheers,

I remember your previous secret and couldn't really comment because I haven't read this book. But it was interesting enough that I put it on my reading list! I just wanted to say that I appreciated the passion behind your literary rant, OP.

This secret is so unhinged. I love it.

I was terrified of this movie as a kid.

Friendly reminder to take your meds, one and all.

Man, that whole book series was so great, I loved it as a kid.

1. Loved these books, totally get the Jane Eyre references.
2. They're not fucking werewolves. They are more analogous to the wolves of fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood than werewolves.
3. You're right that the alternate history is fucking cool.
