The Crimson Butterfly

Written in 1924, this may be the first exotic thriller written by Edmund Snell, who again takes us into the exotic jungles of Borneo in THE CRIMSON BUTTERFLY. This novel tells a weird tale of hypnotism and sorcery, and features a mysterious insect whose sting is death to man, and whose wings look like pieces of raw beef. It takes all the wiles and courage of the English officials, the natives, and a visiting professor and his daughter, to get beyond the superstition surrounding the Butterfly and to track it to its lair
