Like a lot of fairy tales, early versions of “Little Red Riding
Hood” were quite a bit different from the story most of us heard
growing up. There was no heroic huntsman with an axe, there was no
tricking the wolf into a well. At the end of the tale, girl and
grandmother were both devoured, and the only happy-ever-after was
for the wolf. For most of human history, wolves have been a source
of real darkness and fear—and for most of human history, that
reputation had been entirely undeserved. But not always. Every now
and again, growling, sharp-fanged beasts have wreaked havoc
throughout the land, a grim reminder of primordial times when
mankind was just another target to fill an empty stomach…and at
least part of the origin of the werewolf stories we still love
telling today. Join us for the perfect start to the Halloween
season, a true story straight out of the Grimm
Brothers.
