Aprašymas

With 250 entries, a filmography, and a resource guide, The Werewolf Book is the encyclopedic guide to all things lycanthropic and a fascinating compendium of comparative mythology and folklore. Noted paranormal author Brad Steiger takes you back to the 15th century to uncover the origins of the werewolf legend. From there he leads you on an eye-opening, blood-pounding tour through the ages, landing on the doorstep of creatures like hirsute mass-murderer Charles Manson and canine-directed Son of Sam.

More than 125 photos and folk-art drawings provide hair-raising evidence of obsessional behavior toward werewolves through the centuries. A helpful chronology of lycanthropic activities dates back 140,000 years, to the first mixing of human and lupine blood.
