‍An old legend from 1764 that resurfaces.

‍

‍The Gévaudan school and the town around it are besieged by unusual crimes.

‍

‍A monster that resurfaces and tells its state of mind.

‍

‍The devil's gaze and the intelligence of a cunning, vigorous and skilled gladiator.

‍

‍In this Forbidden Tale, Bryan Perro revisits the legend of the Beast of Gévaudan, a nickname given to canines that carried out often fatal attacks on French citizens in the 18th century, in the Lozère department.

‍Don't think that the Beast is just another type of werewolf... it's much more dangerous!

My opinion on the presented edition:

How to say... the author uses the title "The Beast of Gévaudan" to attract the reader. The Beast that you think you see appearing in this book is totally absent. The only references are a school called "the school of Gévaudan" and of course, the violence that increases as you read the novel.

This book was given to me by someone who was misled by the title.

This novel was not supposed to appear in this bibliography on the Beast of Gévaudan, but I included it anyway, so that if this novel interests you because of its title, and by chance you come across it, you know that it has no connection with the Beast.
