Publisher's Summary

Out walking one winter morning, a traveller meets a priest in a black robe, hurrying towards the churchyard. As he scurries ahead, the traveller notices that, despite his speed, he is lame, and wonders what can be behind his unexpected haste.

The next day, he encounters the priest again, and invites him in for a meal. The priest eats ravenously, and when he has finished, begs his host to bar the doors at night and let no one in - and soon, the reason behind his dire warning becomes clear.
