Shapeshifters: A History by John B. Kachuba
1.0
Hard to get any point from me when you have an entire chapter dedicated to Europe and then one for the rest of the world.
It is clear a lot of research went into this book, but there's nothing being said here. There's a lot of information being thrown around, but no points being made about where any of this leads us. Also didn't really care for the fact that cosplay was talked about in the Sex, Gender, and Identity section. It felt a bit invalidating.
I did learn some new folklore creatures to research, but not much else gained from this.
