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 First African Werewolf
#5 SLAVED
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 reclaim power through myth, magic, and imagination—centered around Black characters navigating and resisting systems of oppression. Listener discretion is advised.
Welcome to the deep South, where cotton grows fast, whispers grow faster, and one plantation runs just a little too smooth. Amina—a cunning witch with a serpent soul—and Dahabu, a man torn between beast and brotherhood, have taken control of Willowbrook. The enslaved are working faster. The money's rolling in. And Thomas Whitaker? He’s smiling all the way to the bank… but not everyone’s clapping. His wife, Abigail, has had enough. Enough of the glances. Enough of the profits that feel more like spells. She spreads the word, ignites suspicion, and stirs up a full-blown Southern PAC—Plantation Accountability Coalition—with pitchforks, rumors, and side-eyes sharp enough to cut sugarcane.
Told with a twist of dark humor, spine-prickling magic, and a sly, snarky serpent who might have something to say about all this—this episode dances on the edge of fear and fantasy.
It's dramatic. It's bold. And oh yes, it’s supernatural.
Because on Willowbrook, control is an illusion...
and snakes never sleep.
