Each one presents a different werewolf mythology as well. As Stephanie Meyer's famous Twilight series proves, there are werewolf books for teenagers and tweens, too. The (mostly adult) books below explore the concept of werewolves through a variety of different genres, from macabre and horrifying fairy tales to steamy paranormal romance series. Today, the once-bloodthirsty monsters are more commonly seen as alluring leading men (see: Alcide in HBO's True Blood and of course, Twilight's Jacob ). In 1860's The Book of Werewolves, one the oldest tomes on the subject, Sabine Baring-Gould traces the supernatural being's appearances across cultures. Werewolves have been found throughout folklore, dating back to Greek mythology and the Epic of Gilgamesh. As this list of the best werewolf books shows, these lonely (or lucky) creatures trapped between worlds make for fascinating protagonists. When you tire of vampires novels, consider the werewolf. But if you ask us, the ideal Halloween night is spent curled up with a spooky book, surrounded by on-point decor. Sure, Halloween parties and eating ghost-shaped foods are fun.

Drinking, gambling, debauchery and wagering, he’s done it all, but it’s starting to lose some of its charm. Lord Xavier was orphaned at an early age and has had the wealth and freedom to do as he pleased since for as long as he can remember. Having accepted her likely fate as a spinster, she’d nonetheless like to experience a thrill or two, and what better way to practise flirting or stealing a kiss or two than at Xavier’s wild party? So when Louisa, with her formidable aunt as chaperone, receives an invitation to his house party, rumoured to be quite a raucous event, she’s puzzled, but intrigued and accepts. Matheson and Louisa’s step-sister got married, and the scandal passed, but Xavier isn’t really a favourite in the Oliver or Matheson family circles any more. After Miss Louisa Oliver broke her betrothal to Viscount Matheson, her step-sister and former intended was subjected to quite a scandal, due to the gossipping ways of Matheson’s friend, the dissolute Alexander Edgware, Lord Xavier.

Dance of the Goblins (9781905336005) by Dance of the Goblins. An unhealthy food offers an immediate gratifying experience but has negative long-term outcomes, and a healthy food offers a less gratifying experience in the short run but has fewer negative long-term outcomes (Wertenbroch 1998). Healthy and unhealthy foods fall into the category of relative virtue and vice products (Kivetz and Keinan, 2006 Thomas, Desai, and Seenivasan 2011), respectively. They differ in the gain and loss domain, such that relative vices refer to products that provide immediate benefits (e.g., the good taste of crisps) but delayed costs (e.g., obesity in the future) and relative virtues refer to products that have immediate costs (e.g., the bad taste of oat bran) but delayed benefits (e.g., good health in the future). Virtue and vice products are related concepts (Parreño-Selva, Mas-Ruiz, and Ruiz-Conde 2014). Despite this, marketing scholars have paid intermittent attention to the effect of price promotions of virtue and vice products on sales using scanner data. Products with virtuous features provide consumers with alternative choices to regular products, and retailers endeavor to use price promotions to propel sales of these products.

This book is appropriate for children ages 3 to 8, and can even be helpful to many of us adults! To take a deeper dive into the intertwined feelings, check out the activity below. If we pay close attention to the story, we will see examples of these intertwined feelings. It is important to teach children that we can have many feelings at the same time. They are often intertwined with others and this can make it difficult to fully understand what is going on in ourselves and others. However, most feelings don't stand alone. The book that I am focusing on in this month's blog is Way Past Mad, which, of course, focuses on anger. Adelman has written four books in this series to-date, focusing on different feelings presented in a child's-eye-view. |
