Silver Bullets: Classic Werewolf Stories

About this book

Of the monsters that stalked the pages of 19th- and early 20th-century fiction the werewolf has continued to represent the beast lurking underneath the veneer of human civilization to this day a composite creature which is all too easily released and once at large difficult to constrain. From one of the very first werewolf stories appearing in Britain to a tale published after World War I this collection brings together the greatest werewolf fiction from a period stretching to nearly a century uniting figures as diverse as Hans Christian Andersen Rudyard Kipling and the Suffragette writer Clemence Housman.
