Seller's Description:
Fair. No Jacket. Book. 8vo-over 7¾-9¾" tall. Very uncommon and important title. Red cloth hardcover boards with black lettering and designs. Boards with moderate wear and soiling, edges frayed, previous owner's inscription inside, pages dusty with heavy age toning. Samuel Guy Endore (1901-1970) was an American novelist and screenwriter. During his career he produced a wide array of novels, screenplays, and pamphlets, both published and unpublished. A cult favorite of fans of horror, he is best known for his novel The Werewolf of Paris, which occupies a significant position in werewolf literature, much in the same way that Dracula does for vampire literature. His most famous work was The Werewolf of Paris, a violent horror story set during the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune and inspired by the work of Hanns Heinz Ewers.
One of the classics for any horror fan. While this book is often compared to Dracula since it's one of the first werewolf novels I think it stands on its own.
You immediately begin to feel sorry for the main character, Bertrand, and his unfortunate affliction. You read as he struggles through his lycanthropy and sympathize with his loneliness and struggles as everyone he meets suffers.
This book stands the test of time, it's terrifying and grotesque. It's funny and shocking but definitely not for the faint of heart. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves horror/werewolf stories.
