Werewolves, horror literature, and film noir detectives-these are the themes of the English courses I teach. Each class is an exploration of lives lived on the edge of a knife, in the shadows of haunted mansion, or the silhouette of a smoking gun. What I love about teaching these topics is that no two classes are ever the same -new experiences, new texts and films, and, most importantly, new blood.
