The Book of Were-wolves: Being an Account of a Terrible Superstition

Fun to read, conjecture, fact, tall tales, and legend. Most of the stories taken from a time when man was quick to ascribe horrific explanations to what today would qualify as aberrant psychiatric states.

This was a strange and fascinating book. In collecting varied myths and stories pertaining to werewolves, the author created a very interesting and absorbing read. There were some editing errors in this version, but they were not terribly serious. The different anecdotes ranged a spectrum from the horrific to the almost comical. It was unlike anything I have ever read before and I think it is a great starting point in looking at the history of the werewolf myth.
