BOOK OF THE WEREWOLF: A CLASSIC MONSTERS OF THE MOVIES TRIBUTE

Classic Monsters of the Movies' Book of the Werewolf: A Chronicle of Classic Lycanthropic Cinema offers a dandy, hairy string of some of the genre's best transformations, as its creepy collage-cover proclaims.

Authors/researchers Nige Burton & Jamie Jones host the effort, layering on precious details and insights into the making of such cinematic sojourns as Wolf Blood; The Werewolf of London; The Wolf Man/The Wolfman; Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman; Curse of the Werewolf; A Face at the Window; Face of the Screaming Werewolf; I Was a Teenage Werewolf; How to Make a Monster; The Werewolf 1956; Werewolf in a Girl's Dormitory; The Mark of the Wolfman; Assignment: Terror; Cry of the Werewolf; The Boy Who Cried Werewolf 1973; Return of the Vampire; The Mad Monster; The Undying Monster; The Daughter of Dr. Jekyll; Werewolves on Wheels; Legend of the Werewolf; The Beast Must Die; An American Werewolf in London; The Wolfen; The Howling, Wolf; The Company of Wolves; Wolfman 1979; and Wolfman 2010.  

It should go without saying, the writers spend ample time saluting the stars who headline these endeavors: Henry Hull; Lon Chaney Jr.; Oliver Reed; Tod Slaughter; Michael Landon; Gary Clarke; Steven Ritch; Curt Lowens; Paul Naschy; Kerwin Matthews; Matt Willis; Glenn Strange; David Rintoul; David Naughton; Jack Nicholson; Earl Owensby; Benicio Del Toro; et al.  

The volume is divided into categories, with an overview of lost/rare werewolf movies; Universal/Lawrence Talbot/Chaney Jr. submissions; 1950s, drive-in gems; Paul Naschy's energetic, Waldemar Daninsky series; offbeat, incidental entries; capped by modern variants on the theme. 

Burton and Jones' volume is written to satisfy, whether one is a dabbler of furry folklore, a casual fan or a devoted die-hard of ferocious manly lobos.
