The Wolf Leader by Alexandre Dumas is a gothic novel blending fantasy, folklore, and horror. Set in 18th-century France, the story follows Thibault, a shoemaker who, after being wronged by a local nobleman, encounters a mysterious, wolf-like man in the forest. This stranger grants him the power to command wolves and control people’s actions through his wishes. At first, Thibault revels in his newfound power, using it to take revenge on his enemies and improve his social standing. However, he soon realizes that his abilities come at a terrible cost—each wish he makes brings misfortune, and his humanity slowly erodes as he transforms into a monstrous figure himself. A dark tale of ambition, supernatural forces, and the dangers of unchecked power, The Wolf Leader stands out as one of Dumas’ rare forays into the realm of horror and fantasy. |
