The Were-Wolf by Clemence Housman
Into a firelit Northern farmhouse, out of the winter night, comes the beautiful stranger White Fell, and only one man senses the deadly werewolf hidden beneath her lovely form.
Clemence Housman's 1896 novella is a haunting, superbly crafted classic of horror. Eerie, lyrical, unforgettable. Read it for a masterwork of the werewolf tale, a chilling story of a shape-shifting temptress and the brother who races to save his family, told in stark, beautiful prose with a note of tragic sacrifice.
