Book Description
Endore's classic werewolf novel - now back in paperback for the first time in over forty years - helped define a genre and set a new standard in horror fiction The werewolf is one of the great iconic figures of horror in folklore, legend, film, and literature. And connoisseurs of horror fiction know that The Werewolf of Paris is a cornerstone work, a masterpiece of the genre that deservedly ranks with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Endore's classic novel has not only withstood the test of time since it was first published in 1933, but it boldly used and portrayed elements of sexual compulsion in ways that had never been seen before, at least not in horror literature. In this gripping work of historical fiction, Endore's werewolf, an outcast named Bertrand Caillet, travels across pre-Revolutionary France seeking to calm the beast within. Stunning in its sexual frankness and eerie, fog-enshrouded visions, this novel was decidedly influential for the generations of horror and science fiction authors who came afterward.

Book Description
Definition of Lycanthropy--Marcellus Sidetes--Virgil--Herodotus--Ovid--Pliny--Agriopas--Storyfrom Petronius--Arcadian Legends--Explanation offered.WHAT is Lycanthropy? The change of manor woman into the form of a wolf, either throughmagical means, so as to enable him or her to gratify the taste for human flesh, or through judgmentof the gods in punishment for some great offence.This is the popular definition. Truly it consists in a form of madness, such as may be found in mostasylums.Among the ancients this kind of insanity went by the names of Lycanthropy, Kuanthropy, orBoanthropy, because those afflicted with it believed themselves to be turned into wolves, dogs, orcows. But in the North of Europe, as we shall see, the shape of a bear, and inAfrica that of a hyæna, were often selected in preference. A mere matter of taste! According toMarcellus Sidetes, of whose poem {Greek perì lukanðrw'pou} a fragment exists, men are attacked withthis madness chiefly in the beginning of the year, and become most furious in February; retiring forthe night to lone cemeteries, and living precisely in the manner of dogs and wolves.Virgil writes in his eighth Eclogue: --Has herbas, atque hæc Ponto mihi lecta venenaIpse dedit Moeris; nascuntur plurima Ponto.His ego sæpe lupum fieri et se conducere sylvisMoerim, sæpe animas imis excire sepulchris, Atque satas alio, vidi traducere messes.And Herodotus: --"It seems that the Neuri are sorcerers, if one is to believe the Scythians and theGreeks established in Scythia; for each Neurian changes himself, once in the year, into the form of awolf, and he continues in that form for several days, after which he resumes his former shape."--(Lib. iv. c. 105.)See also Pomponius Mela (lib. ii. c. 1) "There is a fixed time for each Neurian, at which they change, if they like, into wolves, and back again into their former condition."

Book Description
This book brings together contributions from anthropologists and folklorists on werewolf legends from all over Europe. Ranging from broad overviews to specific case studies, their chapters highlight the similarities and differences between werewolf narratives in different areas and attempt to explain them. The result of interaction between elite and popular culture, local and external influences, and nature and culture that lasted several centuries or even more, nineteenth- to twenty-first-century werewolf legends represent a kaleidoscope of the darker sides of human life.

Book Description
Sabine Baring-Gould was a Vicar in the Church of England in Devon, an archaeologist, folklorist, historian and a prolific author. Baring-Gould was also a bit eccentric. He reputedly taught classes with a pet bat on his shoulder. He is best known for writing the hymn 'Onward Christian Soldiers'. This book is one of the most cited references about werewolves. The Book of the Were-Wolf takes a rationalistic approach to the subject. The book starts off with a straightforward academic review of the literature of shape-shifting; however, starting with Chapter XI, the narrative takes a strange turn into sensationalistic 'true crime' case-studies of cannibals, grave desecrators, and blood fetishists, which have a tenuous connection with lycanthropy. This includes an extended treatment of the case of Giles de Rais, the notorious associate of Joan of Arc, who was convicted and executed for necrosadistic crimes.
