A San Francisco appeals court ruled that a werewolf erotica novel must be returned to Andres Martinez, an inmate of Pelican Bay State Prison, after prison guards took it away from him on the grounds that it was pornography. Although the court grants that novel in question, The Silver Crown, by Mathilde Madden, is “less than Shakespearean,” it argues that the book nevertheless has literary merit and shouldn’t be banned under prison obscenity laws.
