It’s been called “charming, playful, a serious tribute to Shakespeare’s work at the same time it toys with it”*.  Now experience Shakespeare with a new bite …

 

The Taming Of The Werewolf

“BEFORE I MET YOU, I NEVER KNEW WOLVES COULD SMILE…”

Was ever any gentleman thus grieved as Baptista Minola? An Italian lord with two daughters, the youngest of which cannot be married until the elder, Katharina, is wed…

“AND THEREBY HANGS A TAIL…”

Because Katharina is cursed. She has a fearsome temper and a sharp tongue. And even sharper teeth…

“KISS ME KATE, FOR WE WILL BE MARRIED ON SUNDAY…” 

“I’LL SEE YOU EATEN ON SUNDAY!”

Petruchio is determined to win her hand. A large dowry is a rich incentive indeed for this less-than-gentleman from Verona, even if there are...issues…

The sexual politics of Renaissance Italy succumb to the true nature of the beast within. This is Shakespeare with TEETH.

"What a hoot ... Sylvia Shults is a mistress of mashups! The Taming of the Werewolf is highly recommended for anyone who has ever wondered how Shakespeare would have handled werewolves. Great fun!"  -- Vicki Lewis Thompson, New York Times bestselling author of A Werewolf in Manhattan

Congratulations! You've turned over just the right rock on the Internet, and you've ended up here. Welcome!

 

This is my site. I put it up mainly to show people the sort of weird stuff that goes on inside my head -- at least the stuff that gets written down. You'll find stories; mostly horror fiction, but I've been known to work in other genres as well. So if you like variety, oh boy have you come to the right place.

I have other interests besides writing, too, so every once in a while, you might find blathering about my other activities somewhere on the site. It won't be a blog, because I won't be updating it that often. But hopefully it will always be interesting. That's where I'll put any exciting news, too. If a publisher accepts my newest novel, that's where I'll crow about it.

So come on in, cop a squat, put your feet up, and wander around for a while. (Sure, you can do all that at the same time. This is the Internet, after all.)

 

Genius flames and dies, but amiable competence can live forever.
-- James Lileks

 

"Sylvia Shults is the princess of darkness, a mistress of malevolent miracles. . . and her lean, mean prose will keep your nightlight on well past your bedtime.  Highly recommended." -- Jay Bonansinga, national bestselling author of TWISTED, FROZEN, and THE SINKING OF THE EASTLAND
