The Werewolf of Paris by Guy Endore
3.0
2-stars for being crappily written. 4-stars for being insane.
A mélange of scandal and horror (S&M, rape, incest, cannibalism, etc.) mixed with the scolding tone of propriety, set amid some bastardized Victor Hugo meets the Marquis De Sade French backdrop.
Sure, it’s badly written, but it’s also intoxicating. A deliriously horrible book that reads like the lost weekend you had in junior high when you stayed with your American grandmother and alternated your reading of the Monster Manual with a perusal of her back issue stack of the National Enquirer.
