The poems contained in this volume resound with dark Baudelairean passion, and echoes of Crowley’s pagan pæans, yet they are unique to Ms. Alexander’s eclectic and mystical style. The ‘wandering ghost’ has shown us her many faces here. They appear in the flames of watch-fires, the dappled rays of moonlight falling on ancient ruins, and the fragrant smoke of incense curling on the night breeze - evoking the passage of a soul in flux.

The stories in this anthology are written around a theme. That theme is to explore the things in this world that are not considered ‘normal’ manifestations of how we routninely define our various realities. Most of us have had some sort of experience that we would call paranormal, surreal or just plain weird. These experiences leave us with more questions than they answer, begging for explanations that never come…and never will. They are experiences that cross a fine line between sanity and what might be perceived as madness; between our dreams and our waking life; between myth and the mundane. We are left wondering what really happened…if it really happened, or if we just dreamed it.

Written in 1865, The Book of Were-Wolves remains to this day one of the premier sources for information on cases of lycanthropy in ancient and late medieval times, as well as related cases of therio-morphism. Baring-Gould explores the myths and legends of the Berserkirs of the Scandinavian sagas, the loup-garoux of France, and the weres of Central Europe, Russia and the British Isles. In the midst of all this, he stops to tell the strange and chilling tale of Gilles de Rais. Baring-Gould goes on to give us examples of legends and tales from India, Greece, Abbysinia, and the Amerind peoples regarding the relationship of Man and the Beast. The book also hints at the relationship between weres, witches, trolls and vampires, but never goes into the the details of these relationships. Neither does it cover the shamanic aspects of the phenomenon, or it’s relationship to the ancient warrior societies. For all that, it is nonetheless a most interesting read…but not one for the faint of heart or stomach!
