A regular guest on George Noory's Coast to Coast AM, Brad Steiger has completed over 150 books on everything from the occult, folklore to the supernatural. The Werewolf book is an encyclopedia on everything about werewolf lore in classic films like an An America Werewolf in London, the mysteries about shape-shifters, children raised by werewolves and pop culture.
I picked up this book as a reference guide and my interest in the werewolf lore. What I didn't expect, is that it covers the minds of history's serial killers like Richard Ramirez the famous Night Stalker and Jeffrey Dahmer. Steiger ties in their mental states in relation to a man under the influence of some dark and sinister process similar to a man growing insane at the sight of a full moon.
The Werewolf Book goes beyond the myth by covering topics on cannibalism, witchcraft, ghosts and the many Hollywood films feeding the public's interest on the subject. My only complaint is that the encyclopedia book, like many books of this type grow slowly outdated due to the content. It was published almost ten years ago in 1999. It's certainly a good time to release an updated edition on the past ten years of films on the subject and the public's growing interest for the unknown.
