Continuing our list of great werewolf stories from “The Unique Magazine”. As the Pulp moved into the 1940s and the editorship of Dorothy McIlwraith the werewolf may have seemed out-of-date. Several authors such as Fritz Leiber, Manly Wade Wellman and Manly Banister would breathe new life into them. Seabury Quinn was still at it too.

The Pulps coughed their last around 1954. Weird Tales was no exception. But werewolves would not be forgotten along with all those brittle, brown pages. The B-Movies of the 1950s would carry the torch as would comic books and eventually television. The 1960s and 70s would see another werewolf renaissance but I like to remember my lycanthropes drawn by the likes of Virgil Finlay and Boris Dolgov.
