Werewolf Fiction Timeline

Crazy Ivan’s TIMELINE OF WEREWOLF AND THERIANTHROPE FICTION               

Last updated: 06 JUL 2005                 
 

Conventions:  

Sources are listed in [Brackets]. Episode titles are in “Quotations”.                 
                  
W    * Please note that WNU articles are written with the intent of rectifying various works of fiction into a coherent timeline. As such information is often distorted somewhat from the source materials, I have opted to list both versions when conflicts exist. My intent is for this timeline to be WNU-Friendly, but not WNU-Centric.  For more information on the World Newton Universe please visit Win Eckert’s site, AN EXPANSION OF PHILIP JOSÉ FARMER’S WOLD NEWTON UNIVERSE. 

S  – Entries from Dennis Power’s SECRET HISTORY OF THE WNU primarily concern interpretations of Mr. Hyde and various superheroes modified to fit the WNU.                

M  – Entries from Chuck Loridan’s MONSTAAH timelines and articles. Much of this is adapted from Win Eckert and Dennis Power, placed in a context of recording all monster activity in the WNU.                

F  – Entries from Jean-Marc Lofficier’s FRENCH WOLD NEWTON UNIVERSE timeline and articles, based on a wealth of French literature including Lofficier’s own impressive body of works.               
D  – Entries based on White Wolf’s WORLD OF DARKNESS materials.  At present, I do not distinguish between the old and new Wolrd of Darkness games, or between the games and the fiction inspired by them.

C  – Entries based on Cthulhu Mythos sources (Lovecraft, Howard, Derlith, etc.). Please note that not all Mythos scholars accept every Lovecraft pastiche tale; some materials noted as such may not be considered canon, especially when derived from ultimately non-mythos origins, such as Marvel or DC Comics.  Likewise, not every Mythos reference fits into the schema of the WNU, as interpreted by various creative mythographers.                
                  
     * Also, a plethora of references may be taken from comic books and role-playing games, but I have chosen to use only those which I feel significant to the history of shapeshifters.  For timelines that deal specifically with any given source of fiction, I highly recommend Edgar Governo, Historian of Things That Never Were.         

350,000,000 BCE C  – A cataclysm raises numerous new land masses, such as Ponape and R’lyeh. The disaster also destroys several marine Elder Thing cities.

Cthulhu is permitted to keep his current surface territories, and the Elder Things keep the rest of the planet.

When Talbot finds that Vorcla (Bela) was the son of Dracula he hunts the Lord of the Vampires as well. Talbot battles Dracula at some point, the details of which are unknown.

Some accounts state that he bolted at the first sign of the onslaught, other accounts state that he had already left the area and was well on his way to Roarke’s Drift  before the fighting began. What appears to have happened was that Parr/Jekyll did indeed depart prior to the fighting began but before the Zulu’s had arrived. His anxiety to leave was to avoid seeing one Danvers Carew.

Thus, the Queen publically supported the ban on lycanthropes but privately supported the shapeshifters.
