The stories we tell about fear, ferocity and freedom
An original and probing debut work of non-fiction by a brilliant new writer, rooted in her years-long quest to study the cultural legacy of the wolf

A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2023 FOR FINANCIAL TIMES, TIME, VULTURE, LIT HUB, GOODREADS, RUMPUS, BUSTLE, READER'S DIGEST and more

Both vilified and venerated, wolves abound through cultural folklore and literature. In this hauntingly lyrical and unflinching inquiry, Erica Berry untangles these depictions - alongside her own research of the wolf and experience as a woman - to try to understand how we navigate terror, vulnerability and violence in our fragile, often dangerous world.

Luminously wise and unusually brave, Wolfish will stay with you long into the night.
