Wagner, The Wehr-Wolf

Wagner, the Wehr-Wolf

by George W. M. Reynolds

This book follows the story of Wagner, a poor shepherd in the Black Forest, who makes a pact with a supernatural entity to gain youth and wealth. However, this bargain comes at a price: Wagner transforms into a ravenous wolf once a month. The story unfolds with a backdrop of sixteenth-century Italy, filled with elements of murder, kidnapping, robbery, and encounters with a group of sadistic nuns. Despite the dark themes, the book also explores the allure of power and the consequences of one's choices. It's a story that blends gothic elements with elements of crime and adventure.
