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.

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.

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.
