Yep, another story from the recently completed San Diego Comic-Con. Not sure how this one slipped under our radar, but fan favorite author Anne Rice told MTV Geek during the event that she’s working on a new project: a werewolf-themed book entitled The Wolf Gift.

This new tome is in conjunction with the previously announced adaptations of her work scheduled to come out as comics from IDW Publishing (Servant of the Bones) and Yen Press (Interview with the Vampire). She describes The Wolf Gift as follows:

“It’s about a young man who becomes a werewolf. It’s my take on what that experience is like for that young man, to experience that transformation and how it works in his life and how he copes with it.”

Check out the video below in which Anne discusses how she’s putting her own spin on the werewolf mythos, where she fits in the crowded werewolf sub-genre, and how this new 23-year-old werewolf has to learn how to adjust to what he has become; and keep it here for more on The Wolf Gift as it comes.
