I can think of no better way to embrace your inner woman than to curl up with a good werewolf novel, so hence this curated list!

Essays that about Twin Peaks, Pretty Little Liars, and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo? Sign me up. Dead Girls: Essays on Surviving an American Obsession by Alice Bolin was an obvious must-read.

It's breezy and readable, yet doesn't shy away from the core tenets traditionally associated with witchcraft. Inner Witch also is not directed toward any one particular "kind" of witch,...
