Audible Editor Reviews
historical horror novel from 1933 that stealthily follows werewolf Bertrand
Caillet - who was conceived when his teen mother was raped by a priest
- as the beast navigates the rough-and-tumble streets of Paris during
Franco-Prussian War.
Narrated in coolly ominous tones by Jean Brassard, this dark and often
twisted morality tale is a literary classic and ranks right up there
Publisher's Summary
Endore's classic werewolf novel - now back in print for the first time
in over forty years - helped define a genre and set a new standard in
horror fiction. The werewolf is one of the great iconic figures of horror
in folklore, legend, film, and literature. And connoisseurs of horror
fiction know that The Werewolf of Paris is a cornerstone work, a masterpiece
of the genre that deservedly ranks with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein,
Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case
of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Endore's classic novel has not only withstood
the test of time since it was first published in 1933, but it boldly
used and portrayed elements of sexual compulsion in ways that had never
been seen before, at least not in horror literature.
In this gripping work of historical fiction, Endore's werewolf, an outcast
named Bertrand Caillet, travels across pre-Revolutionary France seeking
to calm the beast within. Stunning in its sexual frankness and eerie,
fog-enshrouded visions, this audiobook was decidedly influential for
the generations of horror and science fiction authors who came afterward.
