Bisclavret

Bisclavret once called the Multidimensional Finders Service, asking “where his skin was”. Jenny Over-There, who got the impression that he was “a dog or something”, told him that his skin was currently around his bones before hanging up. (PROSE: A Series of Queer Events)

Behind the scenes

The brief allusion to Bisclavret in A Series of Queer Events is a bit of referential gallows-humour for anyone familiar with the 12th-century lai, the gist of which shows that Bisclavret was a werewolf whose cheating wife hid his human skin from him, preventing him from returning to human form.
