Description
Endore's classic werewolf novel-now back in print for the first
time in over forty years-helped define a genre and set a new standard in
horror fiction
The
werewolf is one of the great iconic figures of horror in folklore,
legend, film, and literature. And connoisseurs of horror fiction know
that The Werewolf of Paris is a cornerstone work, a masterpiece of the genre that deservedly ranks with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Endore's
classic novel has not only withstood the test of time since it was
first published in 1933, but it boldly used and portrayed elements of
sexual compulsion in ways that had never been seen before, at least not
in horror literature.
In this gripping work of
historical fiction, Endore's werewolf, an outcast named Bertrand
Caillet, travels across pre-Revolutionary France seeking to calm the
beast within. Stunning in its sexual frankness and eerie, fog-enshrouded
visions, this novel was decidedly influential for the generations of
horror and science fiction authors who came afterward.
