Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heu-Heu Produced by: Larry Dunn Heu-Heu, or The Monster by H. Rider Haggard is a novel written in the early 20th century. It plunges Allan Quatermain into a supernatural-tinged African adventure sparked by a terrifying cave painting of an ape-like “Monster-god” and the call of a hidden people guarded by legend and fear. With his crafty companion Hans and the enigmatic wizard Zikali, Quatermain is drawn toward a lost land, forbidden rituals, and a threat that blurs the line between myth and reality. The opening of the novel finds Allan Quatermain, prompted by friends at his Yorkshire home, recounting an episode that begins on the Drakensberg slopes when a colossal storm forces his wagon party—himself, Hans, and two Zulu hands—into a vast cave. There, after a perilous crawl past a death-chasm full of ancient bones, moonlight reveals a Bushman painting of a monstrous, half-human figure called Heu-Heu. Haunted by the image, Quatermain treks into Zululand, witnesses a grim royal execution at Nongela Rock, and reaches Zikali in the Black Kloof. The wizard conjures a fiery vision of the same creature, offers replacement oxen, and unfolds a legend: a cruel northern ruler slain by his people returns as Heu-Heu to haunt a volcano-ringed land, abduct women, and sire the savage Heuheua; in that hidden country, a rare “Tree of Visions” grows—its leaves the key to Zikali’s magic and the bait that sets Quatermain’s road toward Heu-Heu, and possibly diamonds and ivory.
