Wolves in Petticoats: The Victorian Werewolf
The Freehold ^ | September 14, 2012 | Jonathan David Baird

This is a rough excerpt from the introduction of a book on Victorian werewolves I am writing right now. It should be finished sometime around March 2013. (I have way too many projects to give it my full attention this year)

Introduction

It has been suggested that the Vampire legend, largely created by Bram Stoker, is the most enduring and famous creature mythos to emerge out of popular Gothic literature.

That’s a werewolf? Looks more like “Nessie does London”.

Sort of. Nessie was feeling neglected with all the attention vampires and werewolves were getting...

This occultism and sorcery is the work of SATAN! Clearly this misguided person is a lost soul and a willing servant of darkness.

The SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST is fast approaching! All true servants of THE LORD must be careful to avoid the temptations of Satan in these final days!
