"The Book of Werewolves, which I got at the used bookstore a month ago, and which bills itself as "the encyclopedia of shape-shifting beings", but which is really pure crack. (Really. I read the 'fox maiden' entry out loud to sister, and she said 'okay, that must be a Japanese myth, because it sounds like the outline of a Ranma episode.' Only with rather more gratuitous necrophiliac menage a trois, really.)" (  )melannen | Jan 7, 2006 |   0.008 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0965011178, Paperback)WHEN THE FULL MOON INHERITS THE NIGHT SKY, THE TERROR IS JUST BEGINNING...From movies to the game, to folklore and case histories, THE WEREWOLF BOOK is the encyclopedic guide to all things lycanthropic. The author takes you back to the 15th century to uncover the origins of the werewolf legend. From there he leads you on an eye-opening world tour through the ages to the modern-day monstrous duality of creatures like cannibalistic serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Does the wolf live within each of us ? Learn how the legends of the werewolf can mirror the animal that exists in each and every one of us. Some have given in to these primal animal urges. Find out why. The answers lie within this book. THE WEREWOLF BOOK contains nearly 250 entries, a filography, and a resource guide with web sites. With more than 125 photographs (including 16 pages in full color ), ranging from folk art to movie stills, this book will have your hair standing on end. THE WEREWOLF BOOK pays homage to the beast within each of us, and provides a full moon of fact and fiction for the lycanthrophile in all of us.
