Description:

Wolfshead is a dark and visceral tale of lycanthropic horror set in the wild borderlands of French colonial Africa.

The story follows De Montour, a brooding and capable adventurer living on the fringes of civilization. Haunted by a terrible affliction, he carries a curse that sets him apart from other men — one that emerges beneath the full moon in a transformation both savage and uncontrollable. When a ruthless Arab slaver named Saheem seeks vengeance against him, De Montour’s hidden nature becomes the fulcrum upon which survival balances.

As tensions rise and the African night closes in, primal violence and supernatural terror intertwine. Howard blends relentless action with gothic horror, crafting a story where the beast within proves both a curse and a weapon.

First published in Weird Tales in 1924, Wolfshead was Robert E. Howard’s first professional sale, marking the beginning of the career of one of the most influential pulp writers of the twentieth century. In this early yet powerful tale, listeners will recognize Howard’s signature intensity — vivid atmosphere, raw physicality, and the thin line between civilization and savagery.

Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s ferocity, brooding tension, and supernatural dread, bringing Howard’s early masterpiece vividly to life.
