ichael Loring was born in Bristol, Connecticut, but has lived in a variety of places such as Florida and Tennessee. He likes to think of himself as an amateur Lycanthropologist, studying werewolves ever since he was eight years old when he first saw An American Werewolf In London.

“WE WILL NOT BE CAGED.” Ryan Zachery lived his life the way all high school teenagers should – carefree, and oblivious to anything around him. He had an attractive girlfriend and hope for the future. One night when he was walking home he was attacked by an unknown assailer. He awoke in the hospital to learn he had been infected by lycanthropy, a disease he had heard about but had ignored. Taken by armed guards, Ryan was thrown into a US camp made for those ‘suffering’ from lycanthropy. Treated like prisoners, he and other lycanthropes were abused by the guards and by their own kind. But at the night of the full moon, the beast within him is freed. When an experimental procedure allows the beast and Ryan to communicate, the two enemies become unlikely allies who will stop at nothing to tear down the walls keeping them prisoner. They caged the beast, but now he will show them that he will never be dehumanized. Excerpt A flash of light and a sudden jolt woke Ryan from his not-so-humble rest. He moaned as a throbbing pain radiated all around his head and down to his neck. Slowly and carefully he pushed himself up from his position on the bed and stared straight ahead through the pane-glass that separated him from the outside world. He sat there for a moment, breathing hard as the energy of waking up so violently still ran through his veins, reminiscing over the dream that haunted him nearly every night. Reliving that memory was torture, and he hated the fact that he couldn’t forget it for as long as he lived.
