Werewolves of the Apocalypse
This page is dedicated to my "postmodern fragment novel" Werewolves of the
Apocalypse. The stories here
tell fragments of tales situated in a single post-apocalyptic world,
mostly through the eyes of werewolves living in it. Hopefully, the stories
together will some day convey some sort of a whole, internally
consistent picture of the world.
The stories are not necessarily meant to be read in a particular order,
though I might modify the order presented here to suit my tastes better as
I get more fractions written. YMMV.
The stories might be changed a bit over time for better consistency and
such. I might add dates of last modification sometime...
- Hunter
- This began it all.
- Prey
- The second fragment that I wrote. I'm not so sure if it works
sufficiently well, but I think I'll let it be here for now to
give some more background info.
- Birth
- The first story in the continuum for a long while. Thanks to Jenny for
encouraging me to work on this.
- Cub
- An attempt at describing a situation from more than one angle.
Maybe not too unsuccessful, I think, but is it explaining too much? Also
there are issues of style - for example, are the exaggarated similiarities
with Birth good or bad?
- Hunted
- A more solitary piece of work, like the Hunter, but less
contemplative. I dunno, you figure it out ;)
- Moon
- Yet another piece revolving around one single character, but
from a somewhat different point of view.
- Outcast
- A small piece tying some things together. Perhaps needs a bit of
polish, though.
- Ambush
- It's been a while, again...
- Slain
- Sheads some more light on some of the wolves' customs. May be
considered a direct followup to Ambush, or then again, perhaps
not.
- Hardened
- Another mind trip. Again at least a potential followup story.
- Chronicler
- Something new, something old, perhaps even something worth continuing.
- Failure
- So it was.
The works here are by Mikko Rauhala, 1998-1999.
