Winged Death (Fantasy and Horror Classics)

When a dead body is discovered in the Orange Hotel, the only clues to their demise are a journal, a strange dead fly floating in a bottle of ammonia, and mysterious symbols written in ink on the ceiling of the room. A disturbing story of envy, competition, revenge, and murder, 'Winged Death' is highly recommended for fans of horror fiction and would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer of supernatural horror fiction. Though his works remained largely unknown and did not furnish him with a decent living, Lovecraft is today considered to be among the most significant writers of supernatural horror fiction of the twentieth century. Other notable works by this author include: 'The Call of Cthulhu', 'The Rats in the Walls', and 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth'. Read & Co. is publishing this short story now as part of our 'Fantasy and Horror Classics' imprint in a new edition complete with a dedication by George Henry Weiss.
