Mysteries of the Werewolf: Shapeshifting, Magic, and Protection

Werewolf legends, as well as those of other shapeshifting creatures such as were-tigers, were-jackals, and were-caribou, go back to Antiquity. Spanning not just time, but space: in Mysteries of the Werewolf, you'll find tales from early Greece, Scandinavia, France, Germany, Eastern Europe, China, and Japan. With a look at the various ways people can be turned into these fuzzy shapechangers, including pacts with the devil, magic, and spells, and on the other hand the ways to identify, escape, and kill with werewolves, you'll also learn about were places in medieval Europe put people on trial for suspicion of being werewolves. This book is essentially a lycanthropy 101 and it's got everything you'd want to know.
