Wolf-Girl of Josselin – Weird Tales August 1938 Cover by Brundage

A feral blonde woman in a shredded silk gown crouches atop a snarling pack of black wolves, their jaws agape and eyes gleaming with savage hunger — but who commands whom? She gestures with clawed fingers as if directing her dark pack toward unseen prey. This iconic Margaret Brundage cover for Weird Tales August 1938 illustrates Arlton Eadie's story 'The Wolf-Girl of Josselin,' blending Gothic horror, dangerous feminine power, and predatory animal menace against a lurid orange-blue twilight sky.
