Beschreibung

<b>Sabine Baring-Gould’s The Book of Were-Wolves has long prowled the edges of horror lore and been whispered about by devoted fans, but now, after decades, this ancient work reemerges in a stunning hardcover edition, introduced by modern horror master Stephen Graham Jones.</b><br><br>The shadow manifested in your room. The figure in the trees. The howl carried across the moors. They all started here.<br> <br> When it first appeared in 1865, Sabine Baring-Gould’s <i>The Book of Were-Wolves</i> was the first serious study of a superstition as old as Arcadia and as vast as human fear itself. Moving through folklore, confession, and what would one day be called true crime, Baring-Gould traces stories of wolves in league with the devil, of men drifting into the shapes of bears, serpents, and hyenas, and of a boundary between human and beast so thin it dissolves in the moonlight.<br> <br> For generations, this strange volume has imprinted itself on the minds of horror writers, its rare editions passed quietly from hand to hand. Now, with a new introduction by Stephen Graham Jones, Baring-Gould’s dark and curious classic steps once more into the light—summoning ancient lore with it.
