Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
Loup-Garou by Wallace West is a horror short story written in the early 20th century. Set in medieval England, it centers on a werewolf menace entwined with chivalry and sorcery, focusing on a kidnapped noblewoman and the knight who dares a perilous rescue. A seasoned crusader, Gil Couteau, serves Sir Robert Fitzgerald at Castle Randall when Lady Constance is abducted and suspicion falls on Sir Robert’s foster-brother, Gray Henry of Barnecan, rumored to be a werewolf. After a failed nighttime parley and the wolf-led killing of Sir Robert’s son Brian, Sir Robert explains that a werewolf must assume human form at sunrise. Gil scales Barnecan’s wall at dawn, finds Constance guarded by a giant gray wolf, and battles it in a cramped chamber. When his sword breaks, Constance strikes the beast, and the first sunlight forces it to transform into Gray Henry. Gil wrestles him and breaks his neck, frees Constance, and brings her safely home, his valor earning him honor and, in time, lordship.
