Oh, of course not all old werewolf stories are horror of any kind! Thanks for pointing it out. I really should've specified that I was talking about the subset of stories which are horror stories. Good point about the Slasher Horror; I hadn't thought about it. But yeah, especially stories about how human nature is inherently sinful and violent and evil have some Slasher Horror to them.
I've read about wolf strap werewolves and sheep-stealing werewolves, but I don't think I'm familiar with this particular story. It sounds fun. Do you know if I can read it online?
I'm not good at favorites and I think you're already familiar with a lot of werewolf stories I like. (Especially the ones you got me into.) How about Saki's short story Gabriel-Ernest for evil werewolves, and the webcomic Family Man for good ones? Well, you might not like Family Man since I seem to remember you don't like stories where werewolves are a genetic thing. Family Man's werewolves are an ethnoreligious minority in 18th century not-Germany-yet. They're sometimes presented as parallel to Jews and Roma.
