The First African Werewolf

The First African Werewolf

Beneath the vast African skies, Dahabu lives a life of simplicity and strength. But marauders shatter his world, tearing him from his family and homeland. Bound and imprisoned aboard The Sable Marauder, he endures brutal conditions on the harrowing voyage into captivity. One night, under the full moon's light, the ship's ruthless captain strikes — a werewolf who sinks his fangs into Dahabu, sealing his fate. As pain and fury consume him, Dahabu's body twists and transforms. His humanity fractures, replaced by a primal, uncontrollable force. The beast within rises. He becomes a shapeshifter, a creature of the night, bound not by choice but by the curse of his captor. As the new captain of The Sable Marauder, Dahabu faces a destiny he never sought. His struggle for freedom has only just begun. Immerse yourself in the transformation, the torment, and the fight for survival. This isn’t just a story — it's a movie for your ears!

The train shrieked as it barreled west, steel wheels screaming against the rails, spitting black smoke into the California night. Passengers tried to sleep, but something in the last carriage refused to let the air settle. It wasn’t the groan of the brakes or the restless sway of the tracks. It was her.

She sat in the rear of the train like a queen in exile, emerald silk glinting in the lamplight, her smile curved just enough to uns...

In Los Angeles, Dahabu walks a dangerous line between survival and savagery. Lured in by a smooth-talking white businessman, he finds himself collecting debts—not just money, but pieces of his own soul. When a moment of recognition stops him cold, the werewolf inside finally stirs. A brutal reckoning follows, and with blood still fresh, Dahabu makes a plan: buy a taxi, blend in, and hunt predators by moonlight.

Meanwhile, in Chicago...

Los Angeles, 1850. Dahabu steps off a wagon and into a city humming with opportunity, secrets, and suspicion. But he's not alone. Slink—the dark, cunning serpent spirit that once whispered through Amina—has followed him west, and now he's telling the story.

In this episode, the tension simmers beneath California’s golden skies. Gospel hands clap and feet stomp in a soul-shaking Black church service where praise becomes pow...

In the cold grip of 1880s Chicago, Amina and Dahabu take shelter, but not peace. What begins as a brief refuge becomes a reckoning, as Amina’s snake hungers for power. The snake names itself, celebrating its future with the witch. The serpent whispers louder than ever. Memories clash with ambition. Love fractures under the weight of transformation. And when Dahabu finally makes his choice, he leaves behind more than just a woman; h...

DISCLAIMER:  This episode contains fictional depictions of slavery, racial injustice, and supernatural elements woven into a historical fantasy setting. While the tone may include moments of dark humor or surreal dialogue, especially through the voice of the serpent, this work does not seek to make light of the very real pain and trauma experienced during that time in history.

“Slaved” is a work of speculative fiction meant to recla...

The snake speaks in the shadows in this chilling chapter of African Werewolf.  The voice is not Amina's, but the serpent who lives within her. Freed from the bounds of flesh, the black mamba prowls the decks of the Sable Marauder under the cover of night. Unseen, it creeps into sailors' dreams, sowing fear, betrayal, and doubt. No one escapes—not even Dahabu, the so-called captain, whose haunted past becomes the serpent’s...

 Before her family and village feared her, Amina was just a girl who lovedand woshipped her brother.
 When the village elders declared him ready to prove his manhood, they escorted him into the wild.  Only his body returned—torn by a lion, his life ended before it truly began. Grief turned to blame. Blame turned to punishment. And Amina, accused of cursing fate, was cast into a cave.
 They thought the darkness would break h...

The African jungle breathes. And, watches.
 As Dahabu and his companions trek deeper into the cursed island, the trees close in, and the air turns heavy with unseen menace. Grotesque sculptures—once men, now moss-covered warnings—line their path, faces frozen in fear. Lights flicker like spirits among the branches. At the trail’s end: an ancient temple, part ruin, part heartbeat of something dark.
 Inside lies the Moon’s Sh...

 Before the legend has a name, there is blood.

 The drums of the New Yam Festival celebrate with rhythm and joy, when suddenly, the sky splits open with fire. Pale-skinned invaders descend like a curse, their weapons tearing through families and homes. An old woman runs—not empty-handed—clutching a child whose tiny fingers grip her like a lifeline. Through smoke and screams, through a forest that swallows sound, she does what genera...
