Synopsis
An utterly strange story about an alluring femalecreature that was neither beast nor human, neither ghost nor vampire.
History
First publication: Weird Tales, November 1933
Review
This story is a well-written combination of horror, myth, fantasy and science fiction. It’s hard to believe that this is Moore’s first professional sale! It is everything that was best about 1930s SFF wrapped into a very well written and very engaging story. This is a must read!
