®	The comic (mis)adventures and tribulations of an angst ridden lycanthrope and his...uh...unusual twentysomething friends.

"Well, then. Who's gonna do this? Tara?"
"Whoa there bud! Not me! I'm a pseudo-scientist, not a poet!"
"Denis?"
"Huh?"
"Hmmm. Benny?"
"Yea. O-Kay. Sure. Why not. Does this have one of those spell-check thingies?"
"Never mind. I guess it's over to you, Pete."
"Eh! Why me!"
"Because you are the glue."
"Oh-key-dough-key then . . .

Lycanthropete began in 1992 as a feature in the University of Ottawa's weekly newspaper, The Fulcrum, and his fame soon grew in leaps and bounds . . . so to speak. Due to popular demand, Lycanthropete's many friends started to take on a more dominant role, until madly out of control, they spun off into their own story-lines. Pete, however, still considers himself the glue that holds them together, often quite literally. Without him, well, the pieces just wouldn't add up. Besides wanting to tell his story and buck-up the repuation of fellow lycanthropes, Pete hopes that he will be able to bring cannibalism back into vogue . . . . Nobody wants to tell him that cannibalism was never in vogue."  

Steven Artelle was graduated from the University of Ottawa and is now preparing for his Ph.D. in English Literature at the University of Western Ontario. Aside from his work on Lycanthropete, he has held a number of positions in the Ottawa literary community, including coordinator of Bard, an Ottawa poetry venue, and co-editor of Bywords, a poetry journal and literary calendar. Steve has published several short stories and the recent chapbook, Technoccult. He is also the founder and ambassador of the Industrial Romance literary movement. In fact, Steve cooks up a new literary scheme every week, and he intends to see them all "culminate in an alchemical moment of universal revelation."
