The Werewolf of Ponkert — H. Warner Munn

Sometime around 1500, in Hungary, a merchant traveling home one night is attacked by werewolves and transformed into one. Generations of his family are cursed by this one act.This classic story of a werewolf and his descendants was inspired by a comment by H.P. Lovecraft suggesting a story written from the werewolf's point of view. The Werewolf of Ponkert was expanded with two more stories and the trio became the series, The Tales of the Master. Later, the first series was added to with three more stories that became the series, Tales of the Werewolf Clan.The Werewolf of Ponkert (1925) – They Flayed Him Alive and Wrote His Story on His Tanned Skin. –A five chapter novelette including Prologue.The Return of the Master (1927) – The Werewolf of Ponkert returns from the pit of Hell to thwart the sinister Master who has wrought his downfall.1.
