    Very interestingI love reading on mythology of fictional creatures and this book as old as it is, was very intriguing and insightful upon the legends and myths of werewolves around the world and how something so old written long ago can still be relevant today. Sometimes a bit hard to follow due to old grammar, but I found this extremely educational on a mythical standpoint. Will definitely keep in my library! 5Great Research Material For The Subject Of Werewolves!A fascinating read on the origin of were-wolves. Well worth the read for all the fascinating tid-bits. One disappointment was the Beast of Gevaudan was hardly mentioned which has to be one of the most significant historical accounts of the existence of were-wolves. Will recommend it to all my friends researching this topic. 4The Book of Were-wolvesThe Book of Were-wolves by S. Baring-Gould is a book about some real people doing horrible things. It is also about superstition. You need a strong stomach to read this book. 3WerwolvesGreat read. Invitation to see how the human mind, various circumstances and history provide a rich tapestry for interpreting experience. It's unsettling, however, to realize how today's serial murderers can make by comparison to some of history's most appalling cases. 5Not for kidsLove falling to sleep to this 5An intersting readThe Book of Were-Wolves is a very interesting read. The typos were annoying, but not unintelligible. There are two main sections of this book. Myths and the author's theory. The author believes we can use the term werewolf to describe people that believe they are werewolves and for mentally ill persons that have the uncontrollable urge to kill humans, sometimes to eat other times for their blood. He illustrates his theory with historical crimes.The first section contains the myths of werewoles and the author went to extreme effort to collect many myths of werewolves and other were-creatures. The second section contains historical trial records on criminals that claimed they were werewolves or were committing other horrors that myth associated with werewolves. I couldn't finish this book because the crimes commited were too obscene for me to stomach.Overall though it was a very interesting book. If you are intersted in psycology, myths, or criminal history then you should get this book, especially for free from kindle. 4Five StarsI bought this for school, idk what to tell you 5Foundations of the Werewolf MythThis was a strange and fascinating book. In collecting varied myths and stories pertaining to werewolves, the author created a very interesting and absorbing read. There were some editing errors in this version, but they were not terribly serious. The different anecdotes ranged a spectrum from the horrific to the almost comical. It was unlike anything I have ever read before and I think it is a great starting point in looking at the history of the werewolf myth. 5Typical werewolf reading; worth it for big fans; probably lost on casual browsersBaring-Gould's Book of Were-wolves is enjoyable and worth reading if the topic appeals to you. It explores some (certainly not all) myths and origins of the lycanthropic persuasion in fair detail. However, it is not the most in-depth of werewolf books l've read. Famous werewolf cases and legends covered in other books were skimmed over or skipped completely. One thing about it that caused me to lose a little bit of interest was the tendency to go off on long, storytelling tangents about cases of cannibalism and serial murder, which had little to do with wolf legends in their nature.The Book of Were-wolves is similar in style to Montague Summers' The Werewolf in Lore and Legend, with its archaic English writing style and a fundamental Christian undertone always present. This particular volume, l believe, could be forgone if one were to read the book by Summers. However, it is still worth having for an aficionado such as myself who collects werewolf literature.My foremost complaint is not with the content itself; the issue is this particular print of the book. It's oddly shaped and proportioned, more like the size of a tall, thin magazine than a paperback book. This isn't really that important unless you want it to be visually pleasing when set among the other volumes in your occult library, as l do. As in Summers' book, there are some excerpts written in foreign languages and left untranslated. The table of contents gives no page numbers for chapters, so you will need either a bookmark or a good memory of where you left off reading. Just for these minor details, l may order a different copy of the book.If you're a casual reader on the topic with only fleeting interest, l recommend something more along the lines of Werewolves: The Occult Truth by Konstantinos. For someone more passionately interested in werewolves who wants to know all there is to know, then you should surely read this book along your way. 3Book of the Loup GarouThis book may well be dated but it presents the information in a simple to understand fashion. It sticks more to the earth than most works coming out about Werewolves these days. The Book is to the point and the author explains their salient facts and then supports them with stories and legends produced from around the world.Anyone interested in the concept of Werewolves would do well to check out this work. It covers the mythology on lycanthropy from all over the world. It is a factual breakdown into the exact nature of this mythological character.One can imagine that on a darkened night maybe in France or some other part of Europe you are walking on the the road and you hear a bone chilling howl. Suddenly a large loping figure appears and it is coming right for you. Werewolf legend and indeed other shapeshifter legends go back all the way to Greek and Roman times. We have instances of the Gods being offended by mortals and changing them into animals of sorts. King Lyacon offended Zeus and was turned into a wolf for seven years. Apuleius story the "The Golden Ass" has him being changed into a donkey and finally being able to change back.The old Norse has their berserkers who could put on a wolf skin and change into a wolf . Other versions of Norse shapeshifting include the witch being able to throw their fetch and take over the body of another animal. Legends abound of people cursed with having to be a werewolf for a certain amount of years and then being able to change back. Others have to change into wolves during certain times of the year. Others are blessed to only have to turn once.Lycanthropy was art of changing into a werewolf. It was the ability not of sorcerers and witches. THey would take an ointment that would let them change or give them the feeling of turning into a wolf. At first Lycanthropy was taken seriously but then eventually it was regarded as madness. There are Werewolf like creatures the world over. There are also those who can shapeshifting into other animals. Hyena men of Ethiopia change into that animal. Rakasha are vampire like creatures and there is crossover into the vampire realm from the werewolf realm. In Poland and Slavaopkia they believe that once a werewolf dies he becomes a vampire. Ghouls are jinn that eat corspes like vampires during the day that have the shape of the wolf. I got this book three days ago and have already completed it. Enjoy 4
