Dogman Tales

Two young siblings, newly orphaned, are sent across the Scottish moors in the early sixteen hundreds to live with their aunt and uncle on a remote shepherd’s farm. Still burdened by grief and uncertainty, they arrive in a harsh, wind-scoured land where survival depends on cooperation, tradition, and an unspoken awareness that some nights are more dangerous than others.  As the children settle into life on the moors, they learn that a feared date is drawing near—one that generations of shepherd families have learned to prepare for without fully explaining to outsiders. Clear nights and open skies foster a fragile sense of confidence among the farms, but tension simmers beneath the surface as preparations quietly continue.  When the long-anticipated night finally arrives, the land itself seems to turn hostile. A terrifying presence moves through the darkness, livestock panic, and at least one farmer vanishes without a trace. In the days that follow, the children come to understand that what they witnessed was not legend or superstition, but a living truth the moors have guarded for centuries.  Night of the Warwolf is a slow-building historical horror story about inherited fear, communal resilience, and the permanent mark left by encountering something that does not belong to any man’s world.

When a hunting party sent from a migrating tribe fails to return, only one man stumbles back—half-frozen, bloodied, and carrying a terror no human should ever see. As he gathers the tribe around the fire, he recounts a nightmarish creature that stalked them through the forest, killing his companions one by one. A creature that moved with impossible grace… stood taller than any man… and seemed to play with its prey.  But the survivor did more than escape. He led the monster back to camp.  Fear tightens around the tribe as signs of the creature begin appearing around their teepees—gouged poles, stolen meat, heavy footsteps circling the fires at night. No one knows what hunts them… except perhaps their chief, Grayback, whose silence grows heavier with each passing hour.  When the tribe finally demands answers, Grayback reveals the truth he has carried since boyhood: he encountered this beast long ago, and his youthful arrogance left a mark the creature never forgot. Its true name has been whispered only in old stories... Windashar, which means "The Night Ripper" in the ancient language. And when the creature finally emerges from the forest, towering above the firelight, it recognizes Grayback instantly. What follows is a chilling confrontation between man and beast, memory and vengeance, as Grayback faces what he once fled.

What follows is a raw, terrifying rescue as Bow races to save the only man he’s ever trusted. Their bond is tested, fear rises in the hills, and the boundary between the wild and the human world blurs once again.

A modern-day mother rewards her children with a rare bedtime story, one bound in a dark cover and said to be rooted in truth. Within its pages lies the legend of the Beast of Blackwood Forest, a towering, wolf-headed creature that terrorized a quiet English shire five centuries ago.   The tale unfolds through chilling encounters: a lone watchman facing glowing amber eyes on a foggy road, a mill family besieged through the night by something scratching at their doors and climbing their roof, and a band of armed men outmaneuvered and humiliated in the depths of the forest.
