Book Description
Tales featuring anthropomorphic animals have been around as long as there have been storytellers to spin them, from Aesop's Fables to Reynard the Fox to Alice in Wonderland. The genre really took off following the explosion of furry fandom in the 21st century, with talking animals featuring in everything from science fiction to fantasy to LGBTQ coming-out stories. In his lifetime, Fred Patten (1940-2018)--one of the founders of furry fandom and a scholar of anthropomorphic animal literature--authored hundreds of book reviews that comprise a comprehensive critical survey of the genre. This selected compilation provides an overview from 1784 through the 2010s, covering such popular novels as Watership Down and Redwall, along with forgotten gems like The Stray Lamb and Where the Blue Begins, and science fiction works like Sundiver and Decision at Doona.

Grimm's Furry Tail
Author: Kathi Daley
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781507678558
Category : Cat rescue
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A Whales and Tails cozy mystery series is set on Madrona Island, a fictional island within the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington State. As a fourth generation islander Caitlin Hart is struggling to make her way as the economy and culture of the island evolves toward a tourism based industry. Cait lives in a cabin on her aunt's oceanfront estate where she helps her aunt run Harthaven Cat Sanctuary. When she isn't working with the cats, she helps best friend Tara, operate Coffee Cat Books, a coffee bar/bookstore/cat lounge. Like all Kathi Daley Cozies, this series will include close friendships, a romance element, and recipes. This series differs from the others in that there is a 'light' paranormal element as Caitlin is helped in her investigation by Bella and Tansy, two very intuitive women who sell herbs and tell fortunes, and a series of extremely helpful cats who seem to show up and point her in the right direction at just the right time. Grimm's Furry Tail: Caitlin's friend Cody buys the old newspaper and discovers a previously unpublished edition that details a murder that occurred decades ago. The fact that the story was written but never published piques the curiosity of the friends, who decide to delve into a cold case that reaches back fifty years. When the truth is discovered they struggle with the ramifications of what they have uncovered. They know that revealing it will rock the small island community to its core.

Book Description
Are you a furry? A Fox Tail is unapologetically furry, and if you're ready to meet Vulpie, the legendary hacker, prankster, and all around brilliant orange furred fox, you're ready to enjoy a book that will solidify the anthropomorphic landscape forever. Polar, a handsome arctic wolf, crosses paths with Vulpie just as the fox boy is about to unleash his life's greatest work, the computer Virus/AI, Vulpie.net.In a world of carnivores and herbivores, carnivores have the upper paws and everyone knows foxes control the media. Wolves are figureheads and make much of the success, but there has always been a sly fox somewhere in the fate of all great things. Polar and Vulpie display that, and all Polar wants is to keep Vulpie as his lover but taming the fox boy proves difficult. The hacker wreaks havoc throughout the universe by use of his artificial intelligence, and is able to control robotic soldiers, personal computers, bank accounts, and even the world government mainframe. Even though Polar succeeds in winning over Vulpie from his criminal ways, Vulpie.net itself develops a particularly disturbing personality. Somehow, it concludes that it is the hacker named "Evil Vulpie," yet the artificial intelligence also is aware that it did not write itself, and is merely imitating its creator. This contradiction does not please Vulpie.net. In fact, it makes Vulpie.net quite upset and it takes actions to reverse some of its parameters regarding which Vulpie is the real one.
