Shifters: The Best Werewolf Short Stories 1800-1849 anthology is a Gothic Readers Choice Award Winner



By Gothic Readers Book Club on January 2, 2014
Although lycanthropy and shapeshifting legends have existed for countless centuries, werewolves are not considered a staple of the Gothic literary tradition. Editor Andrew Barger gives us evidence to the contrary with his collection of the best of the wolf stories from the early modern period. Many of these stories have not been republished in over 150 years. There are more than just ghosts and vampires lurking in the 1800s!
