The book is very good quality! I'm impressed! You won't be disappointed. The hardcover is nice and hefty without being bulky, and the spine is sturdy and lovely.
And best of all, the book comes kitty certified, inspected by Ty Beanie Baby (yes, that is his name) himself.

He gave it a sniff.

And even honored it with a rub. Clearly it's a good book. And it didn't fall over! It's very sturdy.
(Disclaimer: He did just want treats afterward, as he cannot read. Treats and pettings were of course given.)
Synopsis:
Since before recorded history, werewolves have captivated human imagination. Simultaneously, they represent our deepest fears as well as our desire to connect with our primal ancestry. Today, werewolves are portrayed negatively, associated with violence, cruelty, cannibalism, and general malevolence. However, in ages past, legends depicted them not as monsters, but as a range of neutral to benevolent individuals, such as traveling companions, guardians, and knights. The robust legacy of the werewolf spans from prehistory, through ancient Greece and Rome, to the Middle Ages, into the Early Modern period, and finally into present-day popular culture. Over the ages, the view of the werewolf has become distorted. Media treatment of werewolves is associated with inferior writing, lacking in thought, depth, and meaning. Werewolves as characters or creatures are now generally seen as single-minded and one-dimensional, and they want nothing more than to kill, devour, and possibly violate humans. Hollywood depictions have resulted in the destruction of the true meanings behind werewolf legends that fascinated and terrified humans for so many ages. If these negative trends were reversed, perhaps entertainment might not only discover again some of the true meanings behind the werewolf myth, but also take the first steps toward reversing negative portrayals of wolves themselves, which humans have, for eons, wrongfully stigmatized and portrayed as evil, resulting in wolves receiving crueler treatment than virtually any other animal. To revive the many questions posed by lycanthropy, entertainment must show respect to the rich history of so many cultures all around the world – and rediscover the legend of the werewolf.
Again, be sure to check out the book on Amazon.com!
If you would prefer to buy a signed copy directly from me, I'll have something very fun in store for you in October... along with another surprise: a brand new book! And it's more werewolf nonfiction. My big fiction publication is coming next year, and it's also werewolf-related. It's a great time to love werewolves.
Expect another big announcement soon about a brand new nonfiction werewolf folklore book!
So stay tuned for a whole lot more on the way! Be sure to give me a follow here and elsewhere on social media. I'll also have a newsletter coming very soon that'll help you keep up with my work, and it'll come with free reading!
Until next time, and happy fall!

Which reading style are you?
I have about half a dozen books that look like the top one and a few hundred that look like the bottom one.
(These will be bookmarks on my shop at some point soon, although obviously us paperback-wreckers have little need for them. Except with library books)

NEW NONFICTION BOOK - Sabine Baring-Gould's The Book of Werewolves, Annotated and Translated
Big announcement, just in time for Halloween! This source is useful not only on werewolves, but on many other subjects as well, including general shapeshifter legends and more.
Tumblr media
Originally written in 1865, Sabine Baring-Gould's The Book of Were-Wolves is still considered among the best of sources in the field of werewolf studies, as well as folklore studies and the occult. A passionate dive into the folkloric and real history of werewolves, witches and sorcerers, and even madmen and serial killers, Baring-Gould takes a scientific approach to "proving" the reality behind werewolf legends. In doing so, he discusses werewolf legends across history, with particular focus on Scandinavia and the Renaissance / Early Modern eras, and even discusses other shapeshifter folklore from around the world, as well as providing trial accounts of famous killers such as Gilles de Rais. This book is a must-have for scholars in multiple fields and anyone interested in the history of the werewolf legend. The editor's contribution of annotations and translations provide further context to Baring-Gould's work, but his words in themselves are unabridged and uncensored from his original text.
This fully annotated edition of Sabine Baring-Gould's The Book of Werewolves includes:
Academic critique, comments, analyses, and comparisons to modern scholarship
Explanations of folklore and historical context
Translations of quoted passages
Bibliography and list of other helpful reading
Fully formatted and edited manuscript (with table of contents) updated to modern standards
Click here to purchase on Amazon.com, available in ebook/digital, paperback, and hardback!
If you haven't seen it, also be sure to sign up for my free newsletter if you want to keep track of my work, be the first to stay informed, and get free monthly folklore facts (werewolf facts, vampire facts, and more) in your inbox! You'll also get a free full short story and a long preview of my most popular work, the nonfiction book The Werewolf: Past and Future, for subscribing.

Further work on my Xmas card for this year. The age old question of ‘should I add a background to something’.
I think I like it? Don’t know.

The #trilogy is complete! #book #author #penofglen #glenwrites #instabook #novel #reading #story #fiction #bookish #rabbit #fever
I have some fantastic news to share with you all – the trilogy is finally complete! That’s right, Rabbit Fever is now available in paperback, hardback and ebook formats. You might wonder why I bothered with a hardback edition, since they are not very popular nowadays, but I heard that Amazon rewards authors who offer all formats online, so I decided to give it a try and make some adjustments to…

Next for the grand re-release is The Dark Tower. Could be a good excuse to revisit this as I’ve only read the series once.
