Her Feral Teeth: Women & Canines

“When I needed temperance, I grew only teeth.”

  • Inuu Comic by Dionne_Ong

A recent trend I've noticed in the horror/thriller genre of women who are paralleled with dogs, are dogs, act as dogs, or otherwise pull inspiration from the canine. Typically in a way which channels female rage through questions of personhood, submission, violence, and breaking the tethers that bind her.
