So I have two suggestion that are both truly fantastic books and that are both adult and TF centered ... and yet they are both strangely disappointing if you are reading them only for their adult TF content. That is right, somehow even though adult themes and TF are kind of the crux of both of these books they will be a huge let down if that is what you are reading them for instead of just reading them unbiased as books for there narrative (at which point they are both top notch). I know it is really weird that this is the case but yet it is so; I read both of these expecting to get my adult TF itch scratched and was left hugely disappointed in that regard despite being very satisfied with having read two legitimately great books.

First is The Sacred Book of the Werewolf. "So ... this is about a werefox whose is employed as a prostitute who falls in love with a werewolf and they search deeper metaphisics behind wereness and transformation, a process that pursue in a manner involves a lot of intimacy? How in the world could that NOT scratch my adult TF itch?" I can't really explain why but I can assure you it won't. It is actually a semi-Buddhist metaphysical work that is reasonably compelling in its philosophical musings. The author (intentionally) manages to make character's day to day life hum-drum and some how feel G-rated in spite of being a were-fox prostitute – truly a (frustrating) miracle of writing. I guess the other frustrating bits for us TF fans are the TFs themselves. The werefoxes don't actually TF, they just have fox-tails that can change a bit; I have no idea why this makes them "werefoxes" but they are christened as such by the author. The werewolfs do TF but the author kind of skips over any physical description of that transformation (though there is a critical metaphysical description of it later in the text that is fairly in depth.)

Second is The Fox Woman by Kij-Johnson. It is kind of a full novel sequel to her Award Winning short story Fox-magic. If you check her works she has many similarly themed TF works such as Fudoki, which I haven't read and thus can't comment on, but have a feeling it is very much in the vein of a cat version of The Fox Woman. Needles to say The Fox Woman does have a few fox → human (reverse) TFs, and basically is one big long romance tale that is not exactly appropriate for children (i.e. it is thus adult and has adult content). Again though, I can assure you for difficult to articulate reasons it won't scratch your adult-TF itch, but it is a fantastic and beautiful book with adult-TF in it that I recommend on its own but not on either its adult or TF related themes.

Sorry for my "cocktease" of a post, but the two above recommended books do technically fit what OP was asking for and both are great books that I do recommend.

The Wild by Whitley Strieber focuses entirely on a man who turns into a wolf. I was very pleased with the ending too. Definitely recommend.

Aunt Maria by Diana Wynne Jones has some animal TFs, in particular a good wolf TF. It's more of a children's book, but well written nonetheless.

Wilderness by Dennis Danvers is another werewolf novel which I enjoyed.

The thing I like about these stories is that the wolf is portrayed more like normal wolves. I'd like to see more books like that.

Edit: Thanks for posting this. I've been thinking about asking the same question. I'm looking forward to seeing other people's suggestions.

There's this transhuman anthro civet sequence that I wrote, with art mostly by Jakkal. Also, this image that I collaborated on- which doesn't yet have a story, but which is set in the same sort of future.

This anthro wolf sequence and story have a similar theme.

This story, about an older couple deciding to become feral wolves, does a pretty good job of creating both realistic motivations and a realistic universe.

A lot of Phil Geusz's science fiction books involve anthro rabbit transformations in fairly plausible future settings.

I'd also recommend the novel Kismet. The transformations there are all backstory and aren't described in detail, but it's a very realistic and well written depiction of a future where people choose to become anthros.

Actually the whole self-vs-other tf is I think the most interesting category to split up by as I think it very much implies what Blanchard called an "erotic targeting location error": our sexual interests are turned inward eventually building a paraphilic interest to turn our own bodies into what we want to fuck. A strong case for that is made by Lawrence in a book I finished recently who eventually attributes the desire of some MtF transsexuals to change their body to autogynephilia i.e. the desire of oneself as a woman. She also mentions in passing that this example is part of a class of paraphilias and that these interests can arise and eventually compete with other sexual/fetishistic interests - which would fit the bill for explaining some part of self-TFing.... Also you've reminded me that I wanted to make a thread about this....meh >_>

Now get back to the survey >:(

Best one I ever read involving TF. A woman slowly becomes a pig and is treated accordingly. She dates a werewolf near the end of the book. Good descriptions of her changes, and the book is pretty funny, too. Kind of disappointed it didn't go some places it looked like it was going, but still. Was not disappointed.

I'm going to throw in a couple of contributions. The first one is, I've gone ahead and made one of my lactation/cow tf stories free until the end of the week!

Secondly, I had a companion piece commissioned for the story, which you can find right here - http://ericstray.com/uploads/3/6/1/9/3619541/madmilkeres.jpg

Enjoy!

Give http://www.amazon.com/Whisper-Wings-Steven-Ray-Fulgham/dp/1557737061/ a try. Pretty detailed transformation there.

If you think that you might be a werewolf, or know a werewolf, you should do yourself a favor and read the guide for the newly bitten: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0767931939?pc_redir=1411899646&robot_redir=1

I posted a fairly long list here last year: https://www.reddit.com/r/transformation/comments/3fymje/a_list_of_transformationrelated_novels/

I've found a few other novels with TF content since then, though none that I'm really interested in reading. In case you'd like to give any of them a shot, however:

Mastermind's Mutants: Seems to involve a mad scientist transforming women into an anthro cat, an anthro snake, and some sort of goo creature.

New Zoo: Features a zoo and transformation, though it looks very poorly written.

Legends of Junta: Possibly multiple anthro cow or goat transformations - though unfortunately, the protagonist may not be an adult.

The Book of Transformations: Despite the name, I think this book involves only one transformation, of a secondary character into an anthro tiger.

Felinis: The protagonist is transformed into an anthro cat, and apparently fights crime.

Welcome To The Madhouse: Takes place in a future where soldiers are enhanced by becoming anthro animals.

Kahuru: The Making of an African Legend: Appears to center around an ancient African warrior who is transformed into an anthro leopard.

You Again: A romance novel in which the woman magically transforms into a cat.

Gate to Kandrith: Several secondary characters at some point chose to be transformed into animals in order to escape slavery.

O Greenest Branch: A secondary character is slowly and permanently transformed into a ferret by a sorcerer.
