Movie Rating
The first Universal werewolf film to really make an impression doesn't have the same iconic status as either Frankenstein or Dracula, but is still a much more proficient movie in purely technical terms. Larry Talbot is plunged into a world of misery and horror when he returns to his family home in Wales; many visitors to the principality will probably empathise, but his experience is particularly bad when he is bitten by a gypsy and becomes a werewolf.

Solid story, decently structured; the wolf man make-up is honestly not that great, and neither is Chaney's performance, but the rest of the cast is decent and the plot rattles along. Notable as the film which established the 'rules' of lycanthropy as far as mainstream cinema is concerned. As ever, probably more interesting from a historical point of view than as a genuine piece of entertainment, but still a film which has deservedly resonated in the culture.

Do you believe that the kind of love which truly sees a person belongs only in fairy tales? 💔

My upcoming contemporary romance, Only in Fairy Tales, follows Nia (53) and Gareth (57) as they cross paths at Monmouth Castle. It is a story about realising it is never too late for a second chance at love.

✨ What to expect:
Later-in-life romance (Ages 53 & 57)
Slow-burn & emotional depth
Fade-to-black / sweet romance
Set against the beautiful history of Wales
Features a realistic, relatable perimenopausal protagonist
The book launches on December 9, and I am currently building my ARC team! 🗓️

Digital copies (ePub/PDF) go out in late September / early October, with reviews due around launch day.

If you love tender, mature romance and want to read early, I would be so incredibly grateful for your support. 💙
