Samuel Guy Endore (July 4, 1901 – February 12, 1970), born Samuel Goldstein and also known as Harry Relis, was an American novelist and screenwriter. During his career he produced a wide array of novels, screenplays, and pamphlets, both published and unpublished. A cult favorite of fans of horror, he is best known for his novel ''The Werewolf of Paris'', which occupies a significant position in werewolf literature, much in the same way that ''Dracula'' does for fans of vampires.〔Brian Stableford, "The Werewolf of Paris", in: Frank N. Magill, ed. ''Survey of Modern Fantasy Literature'', Vol 5. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Salem Press, Inc., 1983. ISBN 0-89356-450-8 (pp. 2102–2106).〕 Endore is also known for his left-wing novel of the Haitian Revolution, ''Babouk: The Story of A Slave''.〔Chris Vials, "Endore, Guy," in ''The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Multiethnic American Literature'', Emmanuel Sampath Nelson, Greenwood Publishing Group, 2005. ISBN 9780313330605 (pp. 658–660).〕 He was nominated for a screenwriting Oscar for ''The Story of G.I. Joe'' (1945), and his novel ''Methinks the Lady . . .'' (1946) was the basis for Ben Hecht's screenplay for ''Whirlpool'' (1949). ==Early life and education== Endore was born Samuel Goldstein in Brooklyn, New York, to Isidor and Malka Halpern Goldstein. His father was a coal miner, inventor, and investor from Pittsburgh who often had difficulty making ends meet. His mother committed suicide when he was four, possibly due to the family's unstable and often insufficient livelihood.〔 Isidor changed their name in an attempt to move beyond the events of the past, and he placed the children in a Methodist orphanage. During this time, Isidor sold an invention and dreamt that his dead wife willed the children to have a European education, so he sent them to Vienna with the newfound windfall. The children lived in Vienna for five years under the care of a Catholic governess, but when Isidor disappeared and their funds ran short, they returned to Pittsburgh and lived together. While there Endore attended the Carnegie Technical Institute but would earn his B. A. (1923) and M. A. (1925), both in European languages, at Columbia University. According to his own account, he scraped together the money to attend, even renting out his bed to a wealthier student while he slept on the floor. He unsuccessfully pursued a Ph.
