Covering 140,000 years of legend, mythology, and fact, The Werewolf Book provides hair-raising evidence of strange and obsessional behavior through the centuries. Learn the basics of becoming a werewolf and the intricacies of slaying the beast. An eye-opening, blood-pounding tour through the ages of monsters with the most amazing camouflage capabilities, along the way you'll land at the doorstep of creatures like hirsute mass murderer Albert Fish, and Fritz Haarman, who slaughtered and ate his victims-selling the leftovers as steaks and roasts in his butcher shop
