Werewolves: The horrific truth behind the legend – Zachary Graves
This book explores the myths and the legends of this fantastical creature and questions the many realities behind the fantasies. Was it easier for society to blame serial murders on a demonic hairy beast with ravaging fangs than to admit a human being could commit such atrocities? Whatever the case, werewolves continue to live on and have been the stars of literature and film for decades. They are the sensitive bad boys of the monster world. Alone among those who rip, the werewolf has remorse and no control over his actions. He wakes up after a night of lunacy covered in blood and gore, appalled at what he’s done.
