"The werewolf is known for its sudden transformation under the full moon, but also underwent an evolution from bloodthirsty creature to antihero. The book analyzes the context that created the image of the werewolf as a savage beast. The Catholic Church's response to the belief in werewolves and literature's depiction of the werewolf as victims are presented"--Provided by publisher.
