I finally got around to reading Robert E. Howard’s story “Pigeons from Hell”. And a great story it is too. A great gothic horror story. Mind you, I love anything connected with voodoo. It has that feeling of degeneracy and decay that Lovecraft caught in so many of his stories, but with a southern rather than a New England favour. I think Howard does it extremely well in this story. It has that feel of civilisation being more precarious than we thought, of pre-civilised horrors lurking beneath the surface.
Now I need to read some of Robert E. Howard’s Mythos stories. Al ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Life without art & music?
