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. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

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.

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.
