Search Results: Werewolf by Charles Lee Swem

New York: A.L. Burt Company. Good+. (c.1928). Reprint. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [a good sound copy, light bumping to upper corners, light age-toning to edges of text block, one-time owner's name and address written in ink on front endpaper along with a couple of other markings and a reader's comment in light blue pencil: "a corker horror tale"]. Mystery novel with a horror/supernatural hook, written by Woodrow Wilson's ex-secretary, with its inspiration attributed to "the War President's well known passion for mystery novels." Likened to Conan Doyle's "The Hound of the Baskervilles," in that the grisly "werewolf" murders that plague a family for generations turn out to have a logical, non-supernatural explanation. .
