This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Augustus Montague Summers (1880 – 1948) was an English clergyman and author most famous for his studies on vampires, witches and werewolves—all of which he believed to be very much real. He also wrote the first English translation of the infamous 15th-century witch hunter's manual, the “Malleus Maleficarum”, in 1928. In this volume, Summers explores the subject of the werewolf in Northern Europe and Russia, looking at evidence for their existence in literature, history, folklore, etc. This vintage book is highly recommended for those with an interest in the supernatural and the occult, and it is not to be missed by collectors of Summers' fascinating work. Also included is the essay, “The Origin of the Werewolf Superstition” by Caroline Taylor Stewart. Other notable works by this author include: “A Popular History of Witchcraft” (1937), “Witchcraft and Black Magic” (1946), and “The Physical Phenomena of Mysticism” (1947). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.

Download or read book Werewolves written by Willem De Blecourt and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The werewolf, a man (or more rarely a woman) capable of changing shape into that of a wolf, is a classic figure of nightmare and horror. Unlike Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or Bram Stoker's Dracula, the classic statements of the artificial monster and the vampire, the werewolf does not trace its imaginative origins to a single literary source, although it does appear in a number of nineteenth- and twentieth-century novels. Unlike the vampire, the werewolf has its early origins in the witch culture of medieval and early modern Europe, where accusations of being a werewolf, and of harming people while in a changed shape, were an occasional component of witchcraft accusations in France, the Netherlands and parts of Germany. Taken up by folklorists in the nineteenth century, the werewolf moved centre stage in twentieth century, with numerous films following The Wolf Man of 1941. With support in Hollywood, and a small part in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the werewolf's continuing hold on the popular imagination seems assured. In The Werewolf Willem de Blecourt traces the werewolf's history from its origins to the present.

Download or read book Werewolves written by Elliott O'Donnell and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Werewolves, by Elliot O'Donnell is a classic mythology anthology regarding werewolves. There is scarcely a country in the world in which belief in a werwolf, or in some other form of lycanthropy, has not once existed, though it may have ceased to exist now. But whereas in some countries the werwolf is considered wholly physical, in others it is looked upon as partly, if not entirely, superphysical. And whilst in some countries it is restricted to the male sex, in others it is confined to the female; and, again, in others it is to be met with in both sexes.

Book excerpt: Master spy, Nazi hunter—and werewolf on the prowl—in occupied Paris: A classic of dark fantasy from a Bram Stoker Award—winning author. Allied Intelligence has been warned: A Nazi strategy designed to thwart the D-Day invasion is underway. A Russian émigré turned operative for the British Secret Service, Michael Gallatin has been brought out of retirement as a personal courier. His mission: Parachute into Nazi-occupied France, search out the informant under close watch by the Gestapo, and recover the vital information necessary to subvert the mysterious Nazi plan called Iron Fist. Fearlessly devoted to the challenge, Gallatin is the one agent uniquely qualified to meet it—he’s a werewolf. Now, as shifting as the shadows on the dangerous streets of Paris, a master spy is on the scent of unimaginable evil. But with the Normandy landings only hours away, it’s going to be a race against time. For Gallatin, caught in the dark heart of the Third Reich’s twisted death machine, there is only one way to succeed. He must unleash his own internal demons and redefine the meaning of the horror of war. From the award-winning author of Swan Song and Boy’s Life, this is a “powerful novel [that] fuses WWII espionage thriller and dark fantasy. Richly detailed, intricately plotted, fast-paced historical suspense is enhanced by McCammon’s unique take on the werewolf myth” (Publishers Weekly).
