A reference book for the 19th-century werewolf seeker, Sabine Baring-Gouldâs âThe Book of Were-Wolvesâ explores the trying tales and magic myths of werewolves from ancient folklore, Greek and Norse myths.
Unpacking the truth behind legendary beliefs, cases of Lycanthropy, and tips and tricks for curing yourself of a werewolf conviction, Baring-Gould deep dives into the dark psychological reasons as to how and why people may believe themselves to be part wolf.
Asking the age-old question of how anyone can feel capable of maiming and killing another being, âThe Book of Were-Wolvesâ invites readers to ponder how and why some members of society may harbour secret desires to inflict cruelty on other animals - big and small.
Weaving an intoxicating narrative, âThe Book of Were-Wolvesâ is ideal for fans of Netflixâs âWerewolves Withinâ.
