Her two longest werewolves stories, "Wolfland" and "Lycanthia", follow Lee's custom of reversing the images of popular culture icons. The 20th century image of the werewolf is largely derived from Hollywood cinema; a man is involuntarily transmogrified into a crazed man-beast, which is consumed by an overwhelming desire to rend that which it loves best. Lee turns that typical portrayal on its head, a departure from Hollywood and folklore tradition and actually approximates the werewolves behaviors into the social and hunting patterns of natural wolves. In altering such a trope, she endows werewolf stories with a new and more positive mythos, a more natural symbolism.
