born wolf, DIE WOLF is the fictionalized account of the Harpe brothers, William Micajah Harpe and Joshua Wiley Harpe, two men who lived in Tennessee and Kentucky in the late 1700's, and have been called America's first serial killers. Their murderous rampage through the untamed territories of Kentucky and Tennessee in 1798 and 1799 has never been equaled. They were called Big Harpe and Little Harpe, and to this day remain two of the most bloodthirsty killers this country has ever seen.

Their story was recounted many times in the first 30 or so years following their deaths, but as they were simply too evil for the ordinary citizen of the 1800’s, attention fell away after the second generation of victims families were gone.

“Marthy, hand me my rifle and bar the door. Get the children under the bed and don’t open up for anyone, the Harpe’s are coming” This was too often heard in the settlements in Kentucky and Tennessee in 1799. Frontier men were not prone to be afraid of anyone or anything, animal or human, but the news that the Harpe brothers may be headed in their direction struck terror into the bravest heart, and caused even the most valiant of men to arm themselves and hide their families.

THE HARPES ARE COMING!!
