Bringing together scholars from Europe, America, and Australia, this volume explores the more fantastic elements of popular religious belief: ghosts, werewolves, spiritualism, animism, and of course, witchcraft. These traditional religious beliefs and practices are frequently treated as marginal in more synthetic studies of witchcraft and popular religion, yet Protestants and Catholics alike saw ghosts, imps, werewolves, and other supernatural entities as populating their world. Embedded within notarial and trial records are accounts that reveal the integration of folkloric and theological elements in early modern spirituality. Drawing from extensive archival research, the contributors argue for the integration of such beliefs into our understanding of late medieval and early modern Europe.

In this fascinating book, Brian J. Frost presents the first full-scale survey of werewolf literature covering both fiction and nonfiction works. He identifies principal elements in the werewolf myth, considers various theories of the phenomenon of shapeshifting, surveys nonfiction books, and traces the myth from its origins in ancient superstitions to its modern representations in fantasy and horror fiction. Frost's analysis encompasses fanciful medieval beliefs, popular works by Victorian authors, scholarly treatises and medical papers, and short stories from pulp magazines of the 1930s and 1940s. Revealing the complex nature of the werewolf phenomenon and its tremendous and continuing influence, The Essential Guide to Werewolf Literature is destined to become a standard reference on the subject.

[Siren Everlasting Classic ManLove: Erotic Romance, Alternative, Paranormal, Werewolves, MM, HEA] Ash Grantz is on the run from an abusive boyfriend. Short on cash, he stops for a few days to earn some money to buy his way to Dallas where he can hide forever, but when Harris catches up with him, he can't outrun him, or a bullet. Dakota is an alpha luna werewolf, a powerful creature able to shift into a monster of a wolf, and his breed is the terror of other shifters. When he catches a scent that calls to him on the most primal level, he can't ignore it, and he's barely in time to save Ash's life. Dakota had to change Ash to save him, and after losing one mate, he never wants the pain of losing another. But Ash is a former human, and after running from his ex, being around a possessive alpha will only push him away, putting them both, and their fragile love, in danger of ending before it can begin. An Alpha Husband Ash Grantz was rescued by his mate from an abusive ex boyfriend, though not without consequences. Luckily he loves being a werewolf. He especially loves it when his mate chases him through the woods for some exercise and sex. That's always spectacular. So is being proposed to. What he could do without are the hunters that have been circling, or when his mate finds three dead bodies in a barn almost immediately after their wedding — and now a friend is missing. Ash loves his alpha husband, and doesn't want anything bad to happen to him, and he doesn't want to be in the way whenever Dakota needs to take care of business. Ash doesn't know if he can handle being the sort of mate and husband who stands back, waiting to find out if his lover has been murdered by hunters in order to keep the both of them safe. Marcy Jacks is a Siren-exclusive author.

Werewolf Histories is the first academic book in English to address European werewolf history and folklore from antiquity to the twentieth century. It covers the most important werewolf territories, ranging from Scandinavia to Germany, France and Italy, and from Croatia to Estonia.

This book brings together contributions from anthropologists and folklorists on werewolf legends from all over Europe. Ranging from broad overviews to specific case studies, their chapters highlight the similarities and differences between werewolf narratives in different areas and attempt to explain them. The result of interaction between elite and popular culture, local and external influences, and nature and culture that lasted several centuries or even more, nineteenth- to twenty-first-century werewolf legends represent a kaleidoscope of the darker sides of human life.
