Konrath is a master of violent murder and hideous villains. This is not one of those stories. What would you do if you started finding strange things in your toilet? And what if your doctor told you you were eating strange things in your sleep? And what if drunk santas were stalking you on a biblical crusade? Toss in a couple of awkward characters like granny the hippo lover and cat woman school teachers...well there's a good time. This is just konrath having fun. I don't know how I felt when I finished it. Mostly it was just strange. Kinda just had to roll with it. POOR Weston Smith. A career shift moved him hundreds of miles from his family and friends, he’s a little lonely, very busy-and a few times a month, he’s digesting strange foreign objects, such as change, zippers, crosses, and teeth-not his. Plus on those occasions he wakes up nude, in some other room of his apartment other than his bedroom. His GP sends him to a psychiatrist, while Weston goes for the Internet and starts hunting. Oh, oh! There may be more to this than meets the eye-and Weston begins to research lycanthropy and therianthropy (humans changing into wolves, and humans morphing into animals)—and then he stumbles upon Shapeshifters Anonymous.A delightfully tongue-in-cheek and almost naughty spin on traditional werewolf myths, “Shapeshifters Anonymous” presents a surprising three-dimensional protagonist with what could prove to be a major serious difficulty. Weston Smith is a joy in himself, as are the other characters he encounters Author Konrath manages to put an unexpected spin on both religion and centuries-old legend simultaneously. This is certainly an approach to lycanthropy I never would have expected, but I chortled all the way to the much-appreciated ending.
What do You think about Shapeshifters Anonymous (2011)?
This book/short story was outright ridiculous, but incredibly creative. I enjoyed all thirty pages.
