This timeless classic by Rev. Baring-Gould (best known as the composer of the hymn "Onward Christian Soldiers") has been considered the foremost work on the subject of lycanthropy since it was first published in 1865. This new edition features supplemental material by pop culture historian, "New Pulp" writer and award-winning journalist John Allen Small, including an in-depth look at the werewolf legend as portrayed in literature, films, television and the comics.
