The Loup-Garou Part 1

 The Loup-Garou Part by J.N. Macawell Gascony, 1610. The Church hunts witches. The peasants whisper of wolves. And Inquisitor Pierre de Lancre keeps a private diary that no one was meant to read. When a feral boy is captured outside Saint-Lyons and accused of devouring children, Pierre records what the court cannot contain—visions of moons that bleed, sermons that smell of flesh, and a faith corroded by desire. His investigation becomes obsession; his prayers curdle into longing. Each confession he extracts draws him closer to the darkness he swore to destroy… and to the boy who may not be entirely human. Told through the Inquisitor's own forbidden writings, The Loup-Garou Part 1 is a work of dark historical horror and alternative-history gothic, where sanctity and sin share the same skin. It is the first installment in J.N. Macawell's haunting reimagining of the real 17th-century werewolf trials of France. Faith is a cage. The beast is what prays inside.
