Synopsis: Housman's "extended prose-poem The Were-wolf (1896) is a symbolic erotic fantasy in which two brothers disagree about a Femme Fatale; the one who thinks her Evil pursues her to a climactic meeting where their fates are decided. It is among the most notable products of the short-lived English Decadent Movement ( Decadence)." -- SFE: Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997), entry by BS (Brian M Stableford?)
