Maybe this is just a style thing but if you changed John Smith's name to something more old english like Selwyn the smith it will add atmosphere to entry. "I regret to say" is a more a victorian way of speech than 1053. Maybe if you wrote something like "by the grace of God" or "God in his infinite mercy has allowed Selwyn the smith to to be killed St Barnabas day, June 11th in the year of our lord 1054." Well you get the idea.

An ape btw would not be familiar to a Viking in 1054 but a demon from hell would be. Or some Norse evil spirit.

However if you want to keep the style as it is you might consider changing the  date to 1845 Norway,  A victorian gentleman on holiday in Norway's fjord's sounds more like your Blake.

As for the Wesen I think freezing someone to death is a very nice touch. Please expand on this idea. What does freezing to death mean? What is the personality traits of this Wesen? I think of Jack Frost, old north wind. Or maybe Hoor, the Norse god of winter.

Norse God Hoor

Anyway, I like the idea and hope you write more.
