 #31 in a series of horror novels published by b. wahlströhm bokförlag

it is by no means clear to this non-scandawegian-squeaking ppint. that wahlströhm's regard this as a separate imprint, rather than one of their publishing series. birger wahlströhm began publishing books in 1910-11, and the company had published a few more than thirty titles by the time they published "varulvarnas natt". . .

 also exists with same uncredited cover art, same cat#, same cover price (but on left hand side of front cover, below b+w corgi logo, and above "corgi books"), different cover typography, also in standard uk "tall" (a-format) p/b. cover art looks to be signed near the price etc. data, but as-yet undeciphered.
publishing/printing dates and therefore the priority between the two not known.
