The Werewolf of Deadham

By Peter Telemark

ITS NAME MEANS "DARKNESS"

It is Spring 1743 and former Ensign Sacha Athenois of the French Colonial Marines has fled to New York Province, believing that he has been dubbed a traitor to French Canada. He fashions himself a new name - Seth Athenor - and a fictitious identity to go with it, as he travels to the sleepy village of Dereham.

Dereham is a bucolic little hamlet, scarcely deserving the mocking nickname of "Deadham" that the children sing of in their rhymes. But Athenor is not the only one to arrive there. A creature has emerged from the western edge of the Great Dereham Swamp and is making its furtive way to the village, devouring all who cross its path. Some victims lived long enough to describe it as a werewolf. But no werewolf ever had eight legs or a human-like face with multiple eyes - eyes neither animal, reptile, nor insect, but human.

It is not wandering at random but appears to have a definite destination in mind for some unguessed purpose. It has not crossed paths with Athenor - yet. But those paths appear to be on a steadily intersecting course.

And as Athenor learns more and more about it, and as mounting dread grips the townsfolk, he wonders if the village will live up to its nickname - The Dwelling of The Dead.
