Description
The Werewolf in Lore and Legend by Montague Summers This comprehensive work on werewolfery explores the supernatural practice of shapeshifting through a theological and philosophical approach. Summers examines the historical documentation and folklore surrounding this phenomenon, shedding light on the finer distinctions between werewolfery and lycanthropy. The book delves into the differences of opinion on human transformation into creatures of "unbridled cruelty, bestial ferocity, and ravening hunger." With a Gothic style rich in fascinating examples and anecdotes, this book offers compelling fare for those interested in esoteric lore. The unabridged republication of the 1933 edition makes this a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of werewolf mythology. 336 pages, paperback.
