A 1948 novel by veteran science fiction author Jack Williamson, expanded from a novella originally published in 1940.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Archaeologist Dr. Lamarck Mondrick has just returned to the United States after a two year expedition in Mongolia. He immediately calls for a press conference to announce his findings, which he considers of dire importance to the entire world. However, in the middle of his announcement, he suddenly collapses and dies.Newspaper reporter Will Barbee, a former student and friend of Dr. Mondrick, was in attendance at the press conference. Though a coroner attributes his death to natural causes, Barbee begins to suspect foul play. Things become stranger during a dinner date with rival journalist April Bell, in which she claims to be a witch. He is initially skeptical of her claims of supernatural power, but he soon begins experiencing vivid dreams of transformation, magic, and murder.When Barbee realizes his dreams bear a strong resemblance to the increasingly tragic events surrounding him, he finds himself questioning his sanity, and his role in the secret conflict in which he's become involved.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

All Myths Are True: Homo lycanthropus is the basis for all the legends of sorcerers, vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, etc. Williamson creates a sort of unified field theory of evil, attributing all the worst traits of human nature and dark events in history to the witch species and the taint of their genes in humanity.
