Synopsis

In How to Wolf, Cael Kraus-a transmasculine, non-binary writer and ex-Mormon-embarks on a raw and transformative journey of queer becoming. Guided by Mu, their wolfdog companion and soul-reflection, Cael traces a path through loss, spiritual unmaking, and self-reclamation, breaking the leashes of doctrine, subservience, and erasure.

Told through myth and memory, this memoir weaves animal kinship, ecological consciousness, and soul rewilding into a story that defies dogma and dares to imagine wholeness beyond the binary. Blending the mythic intimacy of His Dark Materials with the humor and heartbreak of a real human-animal bond, the narrative remains grounded in lived experience and wolfish mishaps.

Designed with trauma aware formatting, the book is intentionally accessible for neurodivergent and emotionally sensitive readers, it honors breath, pacing, and the embodied experience of reading.

For readers drawn to wild spirituality, queer identity, grief alchemy, and animal-soul connection, this is a feral odyssey-an invitation to become the wolf no longer pretending to be a dog.

About this title

About the Author

Cael is a transmasculine, non-binary writer whose work explores grief, queerness, spiritual deconstruction, and human-animal kinship through poetic nonfiction. Drawing from lived experience, How to Wolf reflects a journey of rewilding shaped by love, defiance, and mythic intimacy with the natural world. Cael lives where ferality and story breathe, grounded in the belief that our wildness is something we return to-through connection and kinship with nature.
