So you are planning on an infinite series of articles inspired by
someone saying something easily disproven on the twitter? You're going
to have to start typing a LOT faster. :P

Not everyone who says something easily disproven on the twitter
becomes Today's Main Character, so I think James is safe -- most
twitter falsehoods are unlikely to rise to his attention.

When I read your summary for The Wolfen that included their ability to
masquerade as friendly pets, the image that came to mind was a Chihuahua
not a wolf shaped dog, but were they a recognisable breed in the book?
(I am not likely to read this book as there is enough grimdark horror in
SF for my taste in horror.)

Genevieve Cogman's Invisible Library series features mystery/thriller
books in a parallel worlds setting with various levels of magic, with
Dragons, Fae, and an alternate Sherlock Holmes character.

Some of favorites are the Glen Cook Garrett PI books, in a fantast city
inspired by his adopted hometown of St. Louis.

Expansion means complexity; and complexity decay.
