Since before recorded history, werewolves have captivated human imagination. Today, werewolves are portrayed negatively. However, this was not the case long ago: the time has come to rediscover the legend of the werewolf. This book is my graduate-level thesis published into book format, a work of passion and lifelong dedication to werewolf studies. Be warned I can be strong in my convictions and opinions, both at the time of this book’s conception and now, regardless of how those opinions may evolve and change with time.

Deep in the deserts of Kemhet lies the resting place of Pharaoh Ankhu the Endless, an evil so powerful that the gods themselves sealed him away in a labyrinth. He wanders it as a cursed undead, a walking mummy, searching for his own still-beating heart. Now, the warlock Lord Tefnahkt the Red is seeking the lost tomb to unleash Ankhu’s power. One of Tefnahkt’s slaves, a man named Djedar Rath, may be the key to stopping him. Aided by the ancient order known as the Medjai, he must prevent Tefnahkt from freeing Ankhu and unleashing his wrath upon the world.

Wulfgard: The Hunt Never Ends is a collection of stories, each of which stand on its own, but they also build upon each other in a consecutive order, bridging a gap between a novel and short story collection. These stories follow monster hunter Caiden Voros and his partner Gwen Vergil as they embark on tales of mystery, horror, and adventure to track down monsters – the living dead, beast-men, shape-shifters, spirits, and many more – that would do harm to innocent lives and, by whatever means necessary, put a stop to their terrors. Their motives, however, are not always what they seem.

Originally written in 1865, Sabine Baring-Gould’s The Book of Were-Wolves is still considered among the best of sources in the field of werewolf studies, as well as folklore studies and the occult. A passionate dive into the folkloric and real history of werewolves, witches and sorcerers, and even madmen and serial killers, Baring-Gould takes a scientific approach to “proving” the reality behind werewolf legends. In doing so, he discusses werewolf legends across history, with particular focus on Scandinavia and the Renaissance / Early Modern eras, and even discusses other shapeshifter folklore from around the world, as well as providing trial accounts of famous killers such as Gilles de Rais. This book is a must-have for scholars in multiple fields and anyone interested in the history of the werewolf legend. The editor’s contribution of annotations and translations provide further context to Baring-Gould’s work, but his words in themselves are unabridged and uncensored from his original text.

Sir Thomakos "Tom" Drake is a knight of the Achaean frontier city of Illikon. Together with his close friends and fellow soldiers, he wants only to protect his city and its people from any who would threaten them. But the Achaean Empire to which they swear loyalty is always seeking out new conflicts that put his city in danger.
When Sir Scaevius, Left Hand of the Emperor, arrives in Illikon to recruit Sir Drake to help fight the massing barbarian alliance to the North, Tom has no choice but to obey. But he does not obey without protest, and soon he finds himself fighting not only the barbarians, but his own superiors as well. Meanwhile, strange things begin happening to him. He suffers blackouts, and at night he is plagued by terrifying nightmares. Even worse, he finds himself being stalked by horrific monsters... werewolves. Hated by his superiors, hunted by beasts and assassins, Tom Drake must fight for his home, his life, and even his mind. The events that are about to unfold will change his life, and the world, forever.
