Whom of you have got stories on therianthrope/Shapeshifters, Vampires and Magick? Good bad or indifferent!
The meaning of therianthrope:
Therianthropy is a generic term for any transformation of a human into another animal form, or for a being which displays both human and animal characteristics, either as a part of mythology or as a spiritual concept. The word is derived from Greek therion (Θηριον), meaning "wild animal" or "beast", and anthrōpos (ανθρωπος) meaning "man".
Please tell me all the story in detail and you can be in the book I am working on. Please use a pseudonym.

This might help in a book like that.

Plant houseleeks on your roof. The Latin name for this plant, sempervivium, means "ever living", and the dead cannot bear its presence.The Aztecs considered jimson weed a sacred plant that would protectfrom ghosts any area in which it grew.

Cover all your mirrors immediately after a death. This keeps a spirit from using them as a portal.

Jump into running water, or cross it. A spirit cannot follow you there; moving water represents life.

Bonfires and other light sources drive away malevolent spirits, like those that walk the earth more freely on Midsummer, Hallows, and Lammas, so it was traditional to build fires then. In the Middle Ages, people left candles near their beds to drive away spirits. On Hallows specifically, people carried turnips with candles inside - the original of the Jack-o-lantern - for protection.

Write the letters AGLA in the center of a hexagram and carry this token with you. The hexagram repels evil spirits and misfortune. Cabalists used this formula to banish spirits.

Angelica and nettle worn or carried as an amulet will protect the bearer from evil spirits.

Sleeping on the skin of an ass and drinking boneset tea keeps away
devilish ghosts.

Bathing in fennel water, or drinking it, protects one against the spirit of disease.

In Greece, growing violets in or around a home was considered an effective ward against wandering spirits.

If you are being chased by a ghost, pass through the cleft of a tree.This confuses the spirit, and you will be safe. source
