Historie
Step into the chilling depths of folklore and forgotten lore with The Book of Werewolves, a haunting classic that dares to explore the primal terror buried in mankind’s mythic memory. First published in 1865, this is not a mere catalog of werewolf legends—it is a piercing psychological and anthropological excavation of humanity’s darkest archetype: the beast within.
Sabine Baring-Gould, the eccentric clergyman and polymath, combines rigorous historical research with macabre storytelling to examine the phenomenon of lycanthropy across centuries and continents. From Nordic sagas to medieval witch trials, and from French peasant horrors to clinical cases of madness and shapeshifting, Baring-Gould exposes the thin line between man and monster. He reveals how superstition, trauma, and primal instinct have birthed a cross-cultural obsession with the wolfman—often with real-world consequences far more gruesome than fiction.
This audiobook is not just for horror fans. It’s a window into the shadowy psyche of civilization, a gothic mirror held up to the fears society buries under reason and religion. Whether you're a scholar of the occult, a seeker of the strange, or simply curious about the origins of werewolf lore, this riveting narrative will leave your blood cold and your mind racing.
Uncover the original werewolf book—the one that inspired an entire genre.
