Following the internationally acclaimed publication of Stitches,
David Small emerged as a storied figure in graphic literature,
eliciting comparisons to Stan Lee and Alfred Hitchcock. Werewolf at
Dusk, appearing fifteen years later, is his homage to
aging—gracefully or otherwise. The three stories in this
collection are linked, Small writes, “by the dread of things
internal.” In the title story, an adaptation of Lincoln
Michel’s much-loved short, the dread is that of a man who has
reached old age with something repellant—even bestial—in his
nature. The specter of old age also haunts the
semi-autobiographical story “A Walk in the Old City,” with its
looming spiders and cascading brainmatter—a dreamscape that gives
way to the ominous environs of 1930s Berlin in the final story, a
reinterpretation of Jean Ferry’s “The Tiger in Vogue.” As
fluid as manga and rife with unsettling imagery, Werewolf at Dusk
affirms Small’s place as a modern master of graphic fiction.
