(urth) Innocent [minor spoilers]

[James Wynn]

I just read Wolfe's werewolf short story, "Innocent", from the Full Moon 
Anthology.

It strikes me that Wolfe is a fearless writer--willing go into territory 
that risks totally creep out his audience.

Also, once again we have Wolfe delving into errors of observation based 
on categorical definitions. A man is in jail as a child-stealer and a 
child-molester. And, outwardly, he is guilty of that crime. But actually 
all of his intentions were not that of a child-molester, but of a 
werewolf. If they understood what he is in fact, they would not lock him 
up. They would rip him to pieces.
