Written in 1912 by a famous ghost hunter who was also an occult fantasy writer, this interesting book collects together folktales and traditions from across Europe, starting in the British Isles, through Spain, France, Belgium and Norway to Russia. The "scientific" accounts (including "How to Become a Werewolf") are embellished by anecdotes of the author's personal experiences with werewolves, ghosts and vampires.



The wolf is not the only animal whose shape, it is stated, man may possess the power of assuming; and it may be of some interest to inquire briefly into the varying branches of lycanthropy, comparing them with the one already under discussion. In Orissa, the power of metamorphosing into a tiger is asserted by the Kandhs to be hereditary, and also to be acquired through the practice of magic; many who have traveled in this country have assured me that there is a very great amount of truth in this assertion; and that although there are, without doubt, a number of impostors among those designated wer-tigers, there are most certainly many who are genuine. As with the werewolf, so with the were-tiger, the metamorphosis is usually dependent on the hour of the day, and generally occurs contemporaneously with the setting of the sun. But the lycanthropy of the were-tiger differs from that of the werewolf inasmuch as there is a definite god or spirit, in the shape of a tiger, that is directly responsible for the bestowal of the property. This tiger deity is looked upon and worshipped as a totem or national deity—that is to say, as a divine being that has the welfare of the Kandh nation especially at heart. It is communed with at home, but more particularly in the wild dreariness of the jungle, where, on the condition that the prayers of its devotees are sufficiently concentrated and in earnest, it confers—as an honor and privilege—the power of transmutation into its own shape.

Language: English

Clemence Annie Housman was born in 1861 in the United Kingdom. She is known as an author, illustrator, and suffragette. Housman worked as an illustrator, producing wood engravings for illustrated papers. In 1909, Clemence and her younger brother Laurence Housman founded the Suffrage Atelier, a company focused on producing political art for the women’s suffrage movement. As an author, Housman is best known for writing Unknown Sea (1898) and The Life of Sir Aglovale De Galis (1905). Housman’s short story “The Were-Wolf,” published in 1896, is an allegorical fairy tale. Unlike other pieces of werewolf literature, the short story features a female werewolf as the main antagonist rather than a male one. Echoing both gothic Victorian and Christian fantasy literature, “The Were-Wolf” is an alluring and frightening look into the unknown, uncontrolled, and holy.



The wolf is not the only animal whose shape, it is stated, man may possess the power of assuming; and it may be of some interest to inquire briefly into the varying branches of lycanthropy, comparing them with the one already under discussion. In Orissa, the power of metamorphosing into a tiger is asserted by the Kandhs to be hereditary, and also to be acquired through the practice of magic; many who have traveled in this country have assured me that there is a very great amount of truth in this assertion; and that although there are, without doubt, a number of impostors among those designated wer-tigers, there are most certainly many who are genuine. As with the werewolf, so with the were-tiger, the metamorphosis is usually dependent on the hour of the day, and generally occurs contemporaneously with the setting of the sun. But the lycanthropy of the were-tiger differs from that of the werewolf inasmuch as there is a definite god or spirit, in the shape of a tiger, that is directly responsible for the bestowal of the property. This tiger deity is looked upon and worshipped as a totem or national deity—that is to say, as a divine being that has the welfare of the Kandh nation especially at heart. It is communed with at home, but more particularly in the wild dreariness of the jungle, where, on the condition that the prayers of its devotees are sufficiently concentrated and in earnest, it confers—as an honor and privilege—the power of transmutation into its own shape.

The She-Wolf ♦ By Saki ♦ (Myths) ♦  Full Audiobook



Title: The She Wolf



Author:  Saki



Genre(s): Gothic Fiction, Myths, Legends & Fairy Tales, Short Stories



Language: English



Read By:  David Wales



Librivox Recording



"The She-Wolf" concerns the comeuppance of Leonard Bilsiter, a "drawing-room visionary" whose brief acquaintance with eastern European folklore turns him into a house party bore on the subject of the "esoteric forces" of "Siberian magic." Baited by his hostess and challenged to turn her into a she-wolf ("it would be too confusing to change one's sex as well as one's species at a moment's notice"), Bilsiter is thrown into horrified distress, along with the rest of the company, when the hostess disappears behind a setting of fern and azaleas and a large, evil-looking timber wolf appears in her place.



The reader has been in on the game. A third party, Clovis Sangrail, overhearing the initial conversation, has acquired a tame wolf from the menagerie of Lord Pabham. In connivance with the hostess he has brought the she-wolf to take her place in an impish practical jape that has the desired effect of producing shocked consternation in Bilsiter. Lord Pabham decoys the animal out of the room, and when Mrs. Hampton reappears, she claims to have woken from mesmerized sleep, finding herself in the game larder, being fed with sugar by Lord Pabham. After protesting his innocence, Bilsiter has now lost the opportunity to claim responsibility for the magical changes the company has witnessed. Clovis comes forward and takes his bow, explaining not the facts of the subterfuge but that he himself had lived for years in northeastern Russia, becoming quite conversant with the strange powers of "Siberian magic," and doesn't like to hear "a lot of nonsense being talked about them." This leaves Bilsiter feeling that if he could have transformed Clovis at that moment "into a cockroach and then have stepped on him he would gladly have performed both operations."



At one level "The She-Wolf" is an adult version of the nursery tale "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," but it is also full of delightfully self-conscious language whose precision the reader may savor. On Bilsiter's visit to eastern Europe the railway strike leaves him "in a state of suspended locomotion." The euphonious quality of Bilsiter's own name is itself wickedly suggestive of a conversationalist of spurious value. Moreover, vulnerable creatures are a veiled presence beneath the elegant humor and moral imperatives of the tale. Bilsiter's Aunt Cecilia ("who loved sensation perhaps rather better than she loved the truth") has already paved the way for his indulgences in vanity, averring that she had already seen him turn a vegetable marrow into a wood pigeon. And it is a nice touch when Mrs. Hampton feeds the macaws in the conservatory just before she appears to turn into the wolf that looks as though it might eat the same birds. Such a sense of creatural vulnerability and human susceptibility and vanity counterpoint the network of planning, cooperation, and trust by which characters rise above their weaker fellows. This is the significance of the ironic title of the book in which "The She-Wolf" first appeared.
