hiiiiiii i'm super curious about your WIP "Wolf of Wellwood" and would love to learn more about it because i'm so in love with the vibes and art for it, but i wasn't sure if DMs would be ok so WAAAHH!!!!! I'll screm about it here!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much for the ask! I'd be more than happy to talk more about it, so I really appreciate you giving me the opportunity to! >:3

"Wolf of Wellwood" follows Charles Rowan, a mild-mannered, bookish, middle-class gentleman, who's always struggled with expressing his own anger, thus lacking in assertion and self-confidence.

Due to tense family matters, he decides to impulsively move from London to the quaint countryside town of Wellwood, Wales.

As he settles into his new home, a run-down house that has seen better days, he befriends his neighbours; Elisa Fletcher and her brother Patrick, who run a small sheep farm, as well as caring for their elderly aunt.

Just as he begins to adjust to his new life, Charles is attacked by a strange beast, which he barely survives, as the creature is shot dead before it could land the killing blow.

He is left permanently disabled and scarred, both mentally and physically, as he also begins to battle with unusual changes happening to him that he doesn't quite comprehend.

Throughout Charles' internal turmoil, rumours of an undefined monstrous creature spreads like wildfire throughout town (referred to as "The Beast of Wellwood" by the local newspaper) as the grisly deaths of livestock and humans alike escalate in numbers.

With a worrying lack of memory, and a sense of growing paranoia, Charles begins to wonder;

Is he truly a murderer, without even realising it?

The story itself is primarily a gothic horror, written under the genre of mystery/thriller/drama.

It carries themes of PTSD, anxiety, masculinity, self-image, masking, and repressed emotions.
