Compiled and introduced by Mythologist and lycanthropy specialist Wulfric Thorsson, this book collects all the works by famed pulp writer Robert E. Howard concerning the themes of physical transformation and metamorphosis. Werewolves are here, and werehyenas and other beastmen, as well as startling depictions of arcane changes and unnatural hybrids.
The stories are superbly entertaining, ranging from horror and adventure to fantasy and everything in-between, enlivened and enlightened by an informed commentary from the editor.
Robert E Howard
Robert E. Howard (1906-1936) was born and raised in rural Texas, the son of a pioneer physician. He began writing professionally at the age of fifteen and turned out dozens of tales of heroic and supernatural fantasy, featuring many memorable creations - including the character he is best remembered for: Conan of Cimmeria. These stories, mostly published in Weird Tales, won him a huge audience across the world and influenced a whole generation of writers, from Robert Jordan to Raymond E. Feist. Sadly, Howard killed himself in June 1936 when he learned that his beloved mother had fallen into a coma.
