The Werewolf

""The Werewolf"" by Clemence Housman is a gothic horror novella that tells the story of a young woman named White Fell, who is cursed with lycanthropy (the ability to transform into a werewolf) after rejecting the advances of a suitor. White Fell struggles to control her newfound powers and must navigate a world that is hostile to her kind. Along the way, she meets a man named Christian who is sympathetic to her plight and helps her to understand and control her werewolf nature. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Christian is a devout Christian and White Fell's curse is seen as a manifestation of evil by the church. The novella explores themes of gender, sexuality, religion, and the supernatural, and is considered a classic of the werewolf genre.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.
