If you are one of those who like Stephenie Meyer’s of the “Twilight” series, you will rage for Mischa L Bagley’s latest novel entitled “The Confession of the Panther Woman.”

A firsthand transformation has presided in this contemporary novel: from woman to panther, separate it from comic books and old movies. The idea of vampires and werewolves are magnificent but we are not setting them aside, just the thought of human changing into animal has already matured for consideration.

For going through all those ideas about horrors as well as fears which was conventionally ventured by fictional writers, “Panther Woman’s Confession” took it to the next level. Bagley interpreted the story about an aphrodisiac having a secret sexual yearnings: to that point of desire is parallel to pornography and taboo, where the fantasy dwell into something that is exciting but forbidden.

The spur for such aberrant activity is New York professor of anthropology Elizabeth Chamberlain. Elizabeth was lure to a cult of panther believers whom their Dark Lord is a Russian ambassador of the North America. Grouped of leading socialites, the cult asserted Elizabeth a first victim but an enthusiastic worshiper. To this part where the adventure of Elizabeth on self-discovery about sex, rituals and transformation started.

Not like in “Twilight” series as well with the other same teen vampire stories, it should be emphasized that “Confession” is actually an adult fantasy not a fictional story for the young ones. To be able to give a perky analysis, “Panther Woman’s Confession” is for “Desperate Housewives” characters Bree van der Kamp and Lynette Scavo, rather than Scavo’s teenage twins
Porter and Preston.

Metamorphosis is a mystery of life since a recorded literature, an accomplished transformation of a form and a substance by a magical process. Franz Kafka demonstrated such idea in his 1915 short story. Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Anne Rice’s Lestat in her “Interview with the Vampire” and “Taltos” novels, Meyer’s Edward Cullen in “New Moon” and “Eclipse,” presented an attempt to explain the humans’ need of becoming something.

There is more about “Panther Woman’s Confession” than sex’n’panthers. Bagley’s novel posses such a narration with great impact momentum that is improved through literary and poetic language. Bagley’s novel is a new style of writing.

A rumor says such type of literature like story of the panther woman is impossible to be a good literature. This is justified to be wrong just by reading even one of the above mentioned novels. Also the same about genre, character and going beyond genre. Both the story and its readers are in a new situation. Being able to read Bagley’s “Panther Woman’s Confession” is like having a journey to an unexplored place.
