Publisher's Summary

The Shepherd. (As featured in Creepy Podcast & The NoSleep Podcast.)

An old shepherd lives in isolation with his orphaned granddaughter in rural Europe.

He is plagued by a wolf, one that years ago killed his daughter, disfigured his granddaughter and continues to prey upon his flock, eluding all his efforts to find it.

He resolves to take a stand against the beast that has taken so much from him, and threatens all he has left.

This is a tale of love and regret in a rough, unforgiving land. The tale continues in Blood in the Snow, which is included in this book.

''This big wolf somewhere out in the dark with him was a hunter. It was born to be a predator, at home in the darkness that would not hinder it. He was just an old man riddled with doubt.'' - The Shepherd.

Narrated by Nate DuFort.

Beautiful somber tale

I was captivated by this mood-rich story, filled with vivid scenes and mesmerizing imagery of a bleak, yet compelling world. It poignantly reflects the trials and responsibilities of our human existence. But amidst its somber backdrop, there's a glimmer of hope. Also, I enjoyed the depth and complexity of the main characters, with their shades of light and darkness.

It is a short tale of a perfect length that hits hard and fast in the heart.
