by Joel Horwood
Set over one extraordinary day in an ordinary village, Wolves Are Coming For You explores just how much wild we're comfortable with, as a small community is forced to pull together against an invisible but potentially deadly threat.
Someone has seen a wolf. Where did it come from? How many are there? Someone must be able to do something about them. Otherwise, how will our children get to school?
Someone has seen a wolf! Or did they?
As the story spreads through the town over the following 24 hours, each of the characters is forced to confront their own demons and decide whether to fight or flee. And as the sun rises the following day, each of them is different in some way from the person they were the day before. Whether the wolves actually existed, we’ll never know – but they’ve served their purpose nonetheless.
