The life-eater

Harold Ward

• Fantasy
• Book language: English

A weird terror tale from Weird Tales (1937). In a small Louisiana swamp village, a nightly horror leaves its victims shriveled and deflated, spreading panic and mourning. It is worth listening for its atmospheric dread and classic pulp weird fiction style.
