They can hear a cloud pass overhead, the rhythm of your blood. They can track you by yesterday's shadow. They can tear the scream from your throat.
A New York City cop and an expert criminologist trying to solve a series of grisly deaths in which the victims have seemingly been maimed by feral animals discover a sinister connection between the crimes and an old legend.
DirectorMichael Wadleigh
The emergence reading
In Wolfen, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “urban predator myth”. The story fights on E9/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing class, colonialism, environment, power.
