The Werewolf

By Clemence Housman and Laurence Housman

Book Overview

""The Werewolf"" by Clemence Housman is a Gothic horror novella that tells the story of a young woman named White Fell who is taken by a werewolf and forced to marry him. The story takes place in a remote village in medieval Europe where the villagers are terrified of the werewolf and believe him to be a devilish creature. White Fell's family is horrified by her disappearance and sets out to find her, but they are met with resistance from the villagers who fear the werewolf's wrath. As White Fell becomes more and more entrenched in her new life as the werewolf's wife, she begins to question her own identity and struggles to reconcile her human nature with the beastly nature of her husband. The novella explores themes of identity, gender roles, and the fear of the unknown, and is a haunting and atmospheric tale of love and horror.Sweyn, not able to believe that his ears had deceived him, got up and went to the door. It was a dark night; the clouds were heavy with snow, that had fallen fitfully when the wind lulled. Untrodden snow lay up to the porch; there was no sight nor sound of an human being. Sweyn strained his eyes far and near, only to see dark sky, pure snow, and a line of black fir trees on a hill brow, bowing down before the wind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
