Lycanthia
Lycanthia, the daughter of a Polish nobleman, is reared in an atmosphere of unhappiness and suspicion and nursed by someone dedicated to the Devil. Upon the death of her parents, the orphan Lycanthia is sent to her Aunt's house. It's not long before strange happenings ensue, in which a huge wolf-like animal plays a terrible part and a reign of terror in which both animals and humans are savaged enshrouds the residents of Hampstead. Mislaid Books is proud to present this new edition of an extremely rare werewolf novel, the last of the 1930s and '40s werewolf works to be reprinted. With a biographical essay by James Doig that gives context to Frances Layland-Barratt's life, Lycanthia at last reveals itself to modern audiences.
