I liked the gradual release of information. Even partway in we can infer that everything isn’t what it seems. From rumors about the husbands family about and it being blamed on the moon I can say I thought of it being a werewolf story even before the husbands transformation. For it to be turned upside down with the reveal of the husband standing on his two feet was quite the revelation that I either got jebaited or it was the reverse. One question that I would like to ask is if there were rumors surrounding the husband’s family long after the marriage, how long was this going on? Surely there were signs even after their child was born.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
I agree with you about the gradual release of information. The story was slowly unfolding itself with more information that sparked the readers curiosity. The examples you had mentioned about the rumors of the husband, and that leading to the transformation are good examples of that.
