Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Black Hound of Death" by Robert E. Howard is a dark horror tale written in the early 20th century. This gripping short story delves into themes of vengeance, brutality, and the supernatural, exploring the terrifying transformation of a man into a beastly figure linked to ancient horrors. The narrative unfolds in the American South, amidst the eerie atmosphere of dense pinelands. The story follows Kirby Garfield, who embarks on a mission to warn Richard Brent of a dangerous escaped convict, Tope Braxton, and an even more ominous threat, Adam Grimm. As Garfield navigates the dark wilderness, he encounters grisly murders, horrifying creatures, and an atmosphere steeped in dread. The tale culminates in a horrifying confrontation where it is revealed that Adam Grimm, once a human, has been transformed into a monstrous figure—a "werewolf" of sorts, driven by revenge against Brent for a past betrayal. The chilling narrative pulls the reader into a world filled with primal fear, violence, and the consequences of unchecked malevolence.
