Where did one find the baleful lycanthrope most plentiful? In frozen Siberia. Why do natives dare not scale the snowy crests of the Himalayas? For fear of the abominable ice-demons. Death's hand is icy. The Norseman's inferno is a place of utter dark and sleet.
Manly Wade Wellman, “Sorcery from Thule” (1944)
