Loup-Garou by Wallace West
Loup-Garou by Wallace West is a short fantasy-horror story written in the late 1920s. Set in medieval England, it centers on a werewolf terror and a knight’s desperate effort to rescue a kidnapped noblewoman. After returning from the Crusades, Gil Couteau rests at Castle Randall when Lady Constance is abducted and Sir Robert’s heir, Brian, is slain by wolves led by the dreaded Gray Henry of Barnecan. Learning that a werewolf must
assume human form at sunrise, Gil infiltrates Barnecan by river at dawn and finds Constance guarded by a giant gray wolf. In a brutal fight his sword breaks, but Constance stuns the beast with a stool as sunlight spills in, forcing the wolf to transform into Gray Henry. Gil then overpowers him and breaks his neck, frees Constance, and returns her safely home, ending the curse and securing peace for Castle Randall. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
