Midwest Book Review Gives The Best Werewolf Short Stories 1800-1849 a 5 Star Review

Great reviews keep coming in for the werewolf book I edited called The Best Werewolf Short Stories 1800-1849: A Classic Werewolf Anthology. This one is by the Midwest Book Review:

"Knowledgeably compiled and deftly edited by Andrew Barger, "The Best Werewolf Short Stories 1800-1849: A Classic Werewolf Anthology" is a 170-page literary compendium covering a fifty year span from 1800 to 1849 and identifying famous and not-so-well known authors who wrote werewolf stories that range from Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne, to Honore de Balzac and James Hogg. After an informed and informative introduction on the subject by Andrew Barger, five of these stories are presented in full, followed by a listing of short stories considered from 1800 to 1849, along with an index of Real Names. A seminal work of impressive scholarship, "The Best Werewolf Short Stories 1800-1849: A Classic Werewolf Anthology" is highly recommended reading for fantasy fans, and a valued addition to academic library Literary Studies reference collections."

Whether you call them lycans, shapeshifters or werewolves, if you are interested in classic werewolf stories then this is the werewolf book for you.
