Pigeons from Hell

Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

"Pigeons from Hell" is a Southern Gothic horror story by American writer Robert E. Howard, written in late 1934 and published posthumously by Weird Tales in 1938. It has been reprinted dozens of times, often in "Best Of" and "Hall of Fame" anthologies, and translated into several languages. Two men traveling through the American South spend the night in a haunted house and encounter a grisly reality of voodoo and zombies. The title comes from an image of the ghost stories told by Howard's grandmother, especially one about a deserted plantation mansion haunted by pigeons. The one-line introduction, by Weird Tales editor Farnsworth Wright, read: "A fearsome story of frightful death, a whistle in the dark, and three women whose bodies hung in that dreadful room of horrors — by a late great master of weird fiction." "Pigeons from Hell" was nominated for the 2014 Retrospective Hugo Award for Best Novelette, losing to science fiction author Clifford D. Simak's "Rule 18".
