The Werewolf of Paris by Guy Endore
4.0
Entertaining
This is an interesting early book on a werewolf; it is also a skewering of politics, the issues of wealth vs poverty, and of mental institutions (the latter more near the end of the book). It is convincing as a tale surrounding a “historical document.” Recommended for horror aficionados and those interested in the history of the genre. There are a few elements of the gothic in the persecution of the church under lurid claims. Interesting observations on who really is a monster.
