George W.M. Reynolds was a prolific author of the 19th century
'penny dreadful' (now known as pulp fiction), a lurid
sensationalist genre in which the occult and supernatural featured
heavily, although Reynolds was a cut above other writers in his
field. 'Wagner, the Wehr-Wolf' (1847) is one of his best known
works, and tells the story of an old man living in the Black
Forest, who becomes a werewolf as a result of a demonic pact.
George William MacArthur Reynolds (1814-1879) was a British author
and journalist. The Mysteries of London, like most of Reynolds'
works, was first published as a weekly penny dreadful, illustrated
with lurid engravings and circulating mainly among readers of
limited means and education.
This early work by George W. M. Reynolds was originally published
in 1848 and we are now republishing it as part of our Cryptofiction
Classics series. 'Wagner the Wehr-Wolf' is a short story about a
man who makes a deal to remain young but at the cost of becoming
lycanthropic.
