A Werewolf Story With a Deeper Message, Feb 18 2010

I stumbled across this short story for free on Kindle, and I am very glad that I downloaded and read it. With its period settling and rich language, this story involved me very deeply. It is the story of two brothers: one tall, muscular and handsome; and the other, not handsome at all, slight of build and blessed with the incredible ability to run swiftly over long distances. Sweyn is the beautiful, well-admired brother, and Christian is more than happy to walk meekly in his shadow. But when a beautiful, young, white-haired stranger arrives, she drives a wedge between the brothers. For Christian soon suspects that she is the werewolf he has been tracking, and Sweyn quickly falls in love with this mysterious female who calls herself White Fell, and believes that Christian's ravings are induced by jealous madness.This story inspired a mix of emotions of me, from dread, to anxiety, to deep sadness. It was one of those stories where you are thinking, "This can't end well," when you get to a certain point in reading it. Indeed, the ending is hardly upbeat. But for a story that starts out as one of thrilling suspense and horror, it has a very meaningful message. It's a story about the power of love and sacrifice, and it was very well-done. A great free find on Amazon Kindle. Recommended to fans of classic genre fiction with a deeper, even spiritual message.

One of the best ever, Jan 1 2010
By jana l puckett "jelpy" - Published on Amazon.com
An amazingly beautifully written story. Set in a scandanavian middle age, It's almost poetry in some places. It is one of the stories that people who don't think of horror as 'serious' fiction should read.

Great, Sep 28 2010

This is a refreshing gem of a novella. It's nice to read a story on werewolves in which the werewolf is almost secondary to the idea behind the story. Sacrifice, redemption, good and evil....it's also nice to read a story written at a time during which writers could create sentences more complex than, subject/predicate! Great little book.This is a requirement for any collection of werewolf tales.
Listmania!
