Consider the Werewolf

This book is subtitled "A connoisseur's collection of werewolfiana," and I agree. Anyone with an interest in lycanthropy or even monster mythology in general should have a copy of this book. If there is a canon of werewolf texts, this should be counted among them. Included are short classic stories by Clemence Housman, Guy de Maupassant, Rudyard Kipling, Bram Stoker ("Dracula's Guest"), and Saki; contemporary tales by James Blish, Barry M. Malzberg, Fritz Leiber, Bruce Elliott, and Peter S. Beagle; future visions by Clark Ashton Smith and Brian W. Aldiss; a poem by Avram Davidson that serves as the book's epigram; and an interesting introduction that begins, "Consider the werewolf." This collection confirms that the werewolf is certainly worth consideration.
