Summery: With 250 entries, this filmography and resource is the encyclopedic guide to all things lycanthropic and a fascinating compendium of comparative mythology and folklore. Delving into the 15th century to uncover the origins of the werewolf legend, it is 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. A helpful chronology of lycanthropic activities dates back 140,000 years, to the first mixing of human and lupine blood.
Review: I loved reading this book. It had so many different topics, not just on werewolves, it had topics including, serial killers, cat, serpent, and fox people, selkies, satanism,and many different legends. It also had some information on movies with shapeshifters as well as actors/actresses in these movies. It was a very enjoyable read, and I learned a few new things about the folklore and mythology of werewolves, whether the information is accurate or not I still enjoyed reading it.
I hope everybody had/has a great day : )
