First Edition. This cult classic amongst horror fans holds a significant place in the history of werewolf literature, much in the same way that Dracula does for the history of the vampire in popular culture. The Werewolf of Paris is "a violent horror story set during the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune and inspired by the work of Hanns Heinz Ewers, whom Endore had translated" (Wikipedia). It is described by British write and critic, Brian Stableford, as THE werewolf novel. Rubbing to bottom of spine, very minor crease on top forecorner of front cover.
