WULFSHAUPT by Nick Hendricks is a short story at only 28 pages. It just takes one look at the cover to know that it is a werewolf themed horror tale.

A pair of brothers (Jakob and Matthias) find their dog, and all of their sheep, slaughtered.

They, and the men of the town, think it is a pack of wolves, though the brothers notice something odd about some of the tracks. They were too large, too broad. Not normal.

Matthias is old enough now that his father and the other men let him come on a hunting party. The party ends in yet more slaughter, with only Matthias returning home.

Then, along with the younger Jakob, he goes back out in an effort to find his father, but Jakob and Matthias find something more. They find out about a cursed bloodline and the truth that sometimes monsters come through inheritance, and with age.

In an age where werewolves have become romantic partners more than evil beasts WULFSHAUPT by Nick Hendricks brings the bite back to werewolf themed horror.

I have the sequel Wulfshaupt Thaw already loaded on my kindle and ready to go.
