Sinopsis

This classic werewolf anthology was picked as aáGothic Book Club Award Winner. In general, transformation of the werewolf in literature made its greatest strides in the 19th century when the shape-shifting monster leaped from poetry to the short story. It happened when this shorter form of literature was morphing into darker shapes thanks in no small part to Edgar Allan Poe, Honoré de Balzac, E. T. A. Hoffmann, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Prosper Mérimée, James Hogg, and so many others in Europe and the United States. The fifty year period between 1800 and 1849 is truly the cradle of all werewolf short stories.áFor the first time in one anthology, Andrew Barger, award winning author ofáCoffee with Poe: A Novel of Edgar Allan PoeâÇÖs LifeáandáThe Best Horror Short Stories 1800-1849: A Classic Horror Anthology, has compiled the best werewolf stories from this period.1831The Man-WolfábyáLeitch Ritche (1800-1865)1846áA Story of a Weir-Wolfáby Catherine Crowe (1790-1872)1828áThe Wehr-Wolf: A Legend of the Limousináby Richard Thomson (1794-1865)1839áThe White Wolf of the Hartz Mountainsáby Captain Frederick Marryat (1792-1848)1838áHugues the Wer-Wolf: A Kentish Legend of the Middle AgesábyáSutherlandáMenzies [Mrs. Elizabeth Stone] (1806-1883)
