The Werewolf of Ponkert

The Werewolf of Ponkert first appeared in Weird Tales magazine and H. Warner Munn remembers that the idea stemmed from a query of H. P. Lovecraft's which asked why someone did not attempt a werewolf story as narrated by the werewolf himself.The story is placed in fifteenth century Hungary where its central character is forced to join a werewolf pack through the power of a creature known simply as the master - a creature patterned in the tradition and manner of Melmoth the Wanderer.This book contains a second story The Werewolf's Daughter. In it the daughter of the narrator has grown to young womanhood and is confronted with the hates and fears and superstitions of the towns-people all of whom know the history of her werewolf father. And always in the background looms the shadow of the immortal master.
