“Clawing its way to bookshelves this September, a savage American folk-horror classic that captures the horror of the werewolf!”Vampires had Dracula. The monster had Frankenstein. Now, after decades of obscurity, a savage classic of American Folk-Horror emerges to represent lycanthropy.The novella that inspired H.P. Lovecraft’s The Dunwich Horror!THE THING IN THE WOODS, by HARPER WILLIAMS, is a powerful story of sin, science, and the supernatural set in rural America. This terrifying novel is equal parts pulp thriller, mystery, and supernatural sensation.A country doctor visiting a small village races to discover who—or what—is murdering the locals. Could it be a werewolf, as the locals whisper, the ghost of a murdered man, or a madman? A shocking battle between science and the supernatural wages amidst small town prejudice and cruelty as the doctor fights to save the woman he loves…and his soul.Written by the author of the VELVETEEN RABBIT (which she published under her real name Margery Williams Bianco), this obscure classic of werewolf literature is a bloody bible of authentic legend and lore.
