Summary

It's Mr. Darling's birthday! To celebrate (and salivate), tonight's reading will be all about everyone's favorite Cajun werewolf, The Rougarou! If you're ravenous to know just how a French lycanthrope got their claws sunk into the Louisiana swamplands, do we have a fluffy tale to tell you! These fanged beasties are rumored to have influenced a war, and somehow are now in charge of a huge festival held each year! Grab your favorite spot and cuddle up with a wolf pup for this howling good time!

Special Thanks to Sounds Like an Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design.
