The Were-Wolf

About this book

A beautiful stranger called White Fell enters a winter household and awakens both desire and fear. Her presence draws a young man away from his family, while his brother begins to suspect what she truly is.

Clemence Housman's story binds the werewolf legend to sacrifice and Christian imagery, maintaining its unease through the bitter northern setting. Laurence Housman's illustrations add delicate but severe visual notes. The novella has the feeling of a tale told beside a fire, where every ordinary kindness may conceal a fatal mistake.
