Description: Shrouded within the dark corners of imagination, the werewolf holds a supreme place in fable and folklore - the night-beast, stalking its prey under the light of a full moon. Such is the popular conception. but what of the beast himself? In Murcheston: The Wolf's Tale, a werewolf documents his own case of lycanthropy.
Amid the gothic backdrop of Victorian London, the author presents three gentlemen and one woman as they share the telling of this tale: the tale of Edgar Lenoir, Duke of Darnley, aristocrat and werewolf.
The centerpiece of the novel is Darnley's journal chronicalling his months as a werewolf. The duke views his condition not with horror, but with a fascination he believes to be totally modern. Unfortunately, he is also narcissistic, ruthless, and ultimately seduced by his own misguided self interest to justify as natural and healthy the bestial desires that eventually consume him.
