Transformation of the werewolf in literature made its greatest
strides in the 19th century when the shape-shifting monster leapt
from poetry to the short story. It happened when this shorter form
of literature was morphing into darker shapes thanks in no small
part to Edgar Allan Poe, Honore de Balzac, E. T. A. Hoffmann,
Nathaniel Hawthorne, Prosper Merimee, James Hogg, and so many
others in Europe and the United States.The fifty year period
between 1800 and 1849 is truly the cradle of all werewolf short
stories. For the first time in one anthology, Andrew Barger has
compiled the best werewolf stories from this period. The stories
are "Hugues the Wer-Wolf: A Kentish Legend of the Middle Ages,"
"The Man-Wolf," "A Story of a Weir-Wolf," "The Wehr-Wolf: A Legend
of the Limousin," and "The White Wolf of the Hartz Mountains." It
is believed that two of these fine stories have never been
republished in over one hundred and fifty years since their
original printing. Read "The Best Werewolf Short Stories 1800-1849"
