Vampires, Werewolves & Phantoms of the Night

'Demonic Tales from different lands' is the slightly suspect sub-title of this collection of 10 folk tales in which unfortunate mortals compete with darker powers and sources. Conn in 'Conn and the Other People' needs to wait until he's twenty-one to destroy the Dispossessed Ones who have duped and subjugated his father; poor old Sigmund and Sinfjoth themselves become werewolves, 'The Norwegian Monsters', which requires a desperate cure; whilst Charles De Sauveterre finds himself married to a beautiful werewolf, now minus one be-jewelled hand in 'The Beast of Auvergne'. It's not a bad selection if you feel your pupils need this kind of stuff.
