Wir springen in dieser Folge ins 18. Jahrhundert. Schauplatz ist der Süden Frankreichs, wo zwischen 1764 und 1767 eine Bestie ihr Unwesen treibt und nicht nur die lokale Bevölkerung, sondern auch die gesamte französische Öffentlichkeit in Atem hält. Wir sprechen darüber, warum diese Geschichte so nur zu jener Zeit und nur an jenem Ort stattfinden konnte und warum sie, trotz der vielen zu beklagenden Toten, eigentlich gar nicht so außergewöhnlich war, wie es scheint. Die erwähnten Bücher sind "Monsters of the Gévaudan" - von Jay M. Smith und "Beast - Werewolves, Serial Killers and Man-Eaters" von Gustavo Sanchez Romero und S.R. Schwalb. Das Episodenbild zeigt eine Darstellung der angreifenden Bestie aus dem 19. Jahrhundert.

CHANCES ARE IF YOU LISTEN to MonsterTalk you probably like nature documentaries. No doubt you’ve seen stories about wolves and heard words to the effect that wolves are often maligned and that wolves have an undeserved reputation for being killers. Yet how does one reconcile the idea that dangerous wolves are a myth with the many myths and fairy tales which feature wolves as the villain? In this episode of MonsterTalk we take on the legend of the big, bad wolf and what we find may surprise you. This episode features an interview with author Jay M. Smith, about his book Monsters of the Gévaudan: The Making of a Beast. READ episode notes
