"The Wolf Demon; or, The Queen of the Kanawha" by Albert W. Aiken is an adventure novel that takes readers on a supernatural journey into the legends of Native Americans.

Part action, part horror, this tale showcases just how versatile tales of the American West really can be.
Excerpt: "Hush! Is that a footstep coming up the canon? It came nearer and nearer, and a man of strange appearance suddenly stepped into view, rounding a bend in the canon. At the first glance it seemed that he was a dwarf in stature, but as he advanced, it was plainly to be seen that this was a mistake, for those broad shoulders and herculean arms never belonged to a dwarf. In hight he would scarcely have reached five feet, but his girth of shoulder and hip was something wonderful. In short, he had the body of a giant, set upon a pair of legs so crooked and misshapen that it seemed as if he had borrowed those limbs from some one else."--
