Albert W. Aiken ~7 hr read

By moonlight in the virgin forest of the Shawnee corn valley, terror stalks the frontier, a monstrous wolf-demon, and the mysterious Queen of the Kanawha, in a lurid dime-novel thriller.

Albert W. Aiken's 1878 dime novel is a rousing frontier adventure with supernatural chills. Vivid, melodramatic, of its era. Read it for a colorful slice of classic Beadle's Dime Library fare, a moonlit tale of Indians, settlers, and a fearsome wolf-demon on the wild Ohio frontier, in the breathless, cliffhanging style that thrilled a mass audience.
