SYNOPSIS

Does the werewolf exist, that creature halfway between a human and a wild beast? How can the violent deaths of so many women in a remote village in Galicia be explained? While the husband of the local schoolmistress tries to give objective, rational explanations of the incidents, the reader will gasp at events that loom in dark backwoods. Maybe the werewolf is, after all, no more than the tool of a mysterious moral judge, as strict as he his arbitrary, who punishes the sordid and fiercely human sins that have been committed in isolated, rural Brañaganda.

Prizes and reviews: 

"Monteagudo makes the reader suffer for the characters in his novel, menaced by a supposed werewolf. He draws you in and makes you wonder about your view of the world”.
Lídia Penelo, Público.
“He reinvents the legends about Galician werewolves so as to baffle the reader and plunge him into nightmarish confusion. Monteagudo is here to stay”.
Ricard Ruiz Garzón, El Periódico.
“The novel does not let you pause for breath from the first page and reaches a crescendo that overwhelms you and sends shivers down your spine. We are in the hands of a skilled writer who dispenses with flourishes and aims his prose at the heart of the shadows in which he plunges us”.
Iñaki Urdanibia, Gara.
