Where the sunlight is fiercest the old dread endures - the vrykolakas of Greece, the lupo mannaro of Italy, and the Iberian hombre lobo and lobisomem all stalk these pages of southern beast-lore.

Taken from Montague Summers' The Werewolf (1933), this volume surveys lycanthropy across the southern lands, drawing on classical authors, chronicle, and living peasant tradition. Caroline Taylor Stewart's essay The Origin of the Werewolf Superstition is also included. Augustus Montague Summers (1880 - 1948) was an English author and clergyman celebrated for his earnest studies of witches, werewolves, and vampires, all of which he held to be quite real; in 1928 he produced the first English translation of the notorious witch-hunters' manual, the Malleus Maleficarum.
