«Hugo el lobo» is the horror tale by Erckmann-Chatrian, published by Ediciones Forum in paperback (66 pages, in Spanish).
The tale is set in the Black Forest and presents a very peculiar form of lycanthropy: there is no physical transformation under the full moon, but a tragic and permanent fusion between the human and the bestial. That blend of ferocity and humanity recalls the treatment of the myth in Guy Endore's classic and gives the story an unsettling tone.
Number 43 of the Biblioteca del Terror collection. 1984 edition; the tale was originally published in 1860.
For readers of classic horror and gothic fantasy interested in a literary version of the werewolf, far from conventional horror movies.
Erckmann-Chatrian was the name used by French authors Émile Erckmann (1822–1899) and Alexandre Chatrian (1826–1890), nearly all of whose works were jointly written.
