Written by a venerable author of occult studies, The Werewolf in Lore and Legend is the first definitive book on werewolfery and the remarkable successor to Montague Summers's popular work, The Vampire. Unsurpassed in its sheer scope and depth, it employs an extensive range of historical documentation and folklore from throughout Europe to powerfully portray the horror associated with belief in werewolves.
Summers adopts a comprehensive theological and philosophical approach, cataloging a series of literary connections between witch and wolf. Drawing upon the work of anthropologists, totemists, and rationalists, he examines the supernatural practice of shapeshifting, notes the finer distinctions between werewolfery and lycanthropy, and explores the differences of opinion on exactly how ordinary humans are transformed into creatures of "unbridled cruelty, bestial ferocity, and ravening hunger."
The author's Gothic style, rich in fascinating examples and anecdotes, offers compelling fare for lovers of esoteric lore. Even the most skeptical of readers can appreciate the evocative ways in which The Werewolf in Lore and Legend conveys the dread of those for whom these monsters were not mere superstition but terrifying reality.

luxurious!
Size: Queen (90-Inch-by-90-Inch), Color: Dark Grey
I am absolutely in love with this plush blanket! The fabric is unbelievably soft and cozy—like being wrapped in a cloud. It’s the perfect weight: not too heavy, but warm enough to keep me comfortable on chilly nights. The quality really impressed me; even after a few washes, it hasn’t shed or lost that silky softness. I’ve been using it on our couch, and it instantly makes the space feel more inviting. The color is rich and beautiful, exactly as pictured, and it adds a nice touch of style to my living room. If you’re looking for a blanket that feels luxurious but also practical for everyday use, this one is it. I’ve already ordered a second one for my bedroom because I don’t want to share!

LOVE
Size: Queen (90-Inch-by-90-Inch), Color: Checkered Green
We love this blanket! By we I mean us and the dogs. It’s sooooo soft, a good size, warm, and has held up surprisingly well for what we have put it through. It has gone camping, to the mountains, and been dragged all around the house by dogs. No rips or tears! Great color, design and quality!

Comfy and warm
Size: Queen (90-Inch-by-90-Inch), Color: Dark Grey
This Soft Queen Size Blanket is very comfortable and lives up to its warm and fuzzy feel. The microplush material is soft on the skin and lightweight, making it suitable for use in all seasons. It keeps you warm without feeling too heavy, which is great for sleeping or relaxing on the couch. The dark gray color looks clean and modern and fits well with different room styles. The size is generous and covers a queen bed nicely. I gave it four stars because it could be a bit thicker for extra warmth on very cold nights, but overall it is a good quality blanket and worth the purchase.
