Werewolves | Zachary Graves
The werewolf possesses human sensitivities that no other monster exhibits. In the pantheon of legendary creatures, the werewolf is the only one to e consumed by remorse for his actions. He wakes after a night of lunacy, covered in blood and gore, appalled at what he's done. Every one of us can empathize with the duality of the werewolf personality. Some more so than others... This hardcover volume complete with four-color illustrations and text decoration will make an excellent addition to any fantasy fan's library and a wonderful companion resource for any scholar of myths and legends. Werewolves explores the myths surrounding the fantastical creature and questions the probably realities behind the fantasies. This lycanthropic compendium traces the complex history of wolf men from their earliest origins in the founding of Rome, through the forests of medieval Europe and the plains of Arizona, to the dark streets of Jekyll and Hyde's Victorian London and beyond. This book examines the impact of werewolves on popular culture and explains why we can't get enough of howling at the moon.
