About this audiobook

A dog may be man’s best friend. It is also one of his worst nightmares. The idea that humans could suddenly present themselves as demonic werewolves can only have come from the deepest, darkest and most diabolical recesses of an author’s mind.

In this volume we present a roll-call of classic authors including Rudyard Kipling, Saki, Arthur Conan Doyle, Catherine Crowe and many others who short story by short story establish the building blocks of this horrific yet thrilling genre. Here all manner of characters and narratives weave together to bring a unique yet intricate account of the beginnings of this most troubling of literary genres.
