Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Hyena" by Robert E. Howard is a short story written during the early 20th century, specifically in the 1920s. This work vividly portrays the clash between colonial sensibilities and the mysterious elements of African culture, intertwined with themes of fear, power, and instinctual rivalry. The story navigates the protagonist's complex emotions and experiences as he encounters the enigmatic fetish-man Senecoza and contemplates the sinister legends surrounding him. The narrative follows Steve, a young man new to Africa, who finds himself drawn into a web of intrigue and danger surrounding Senecoza, a powerful figure among the natives. As Steve grapples with his feelings of jealousy, fear, and admiration for the fetish-man, he becomes increasingly aware of a lurking menace. His struggle intensifies when he meets Ellen, a woman whose presence fascinates him, but also incites the wrath of Senecoza. When Ellen is captured, Steve's desperation drives him to confront both the fetish-man and the primal forces symbolized by the hyenas that haunt the African landscape. The climax reveals a chilling connection between Senecoza, the mystical wildlife, and the savage realities of power and fear, culminating in a mysterious resolution that leaves an air of horror and ambiguity.
