In the fevered jungles of Africa, some plagues aren't viral--they're supernatural.
Dr. Arthur Phillips, a European scientist working in the malaria-ridden Belgian Congo, is obsessed with finding a biological solution to the deadly disease. His assistant, the Dutch botanist Dr. Etienne Lafond, supports his research but harbors a deep, almost mystical fear of the jungle's secrets.
When Dr. Phillips is suddenly struck down by a terrifying, inexplicable illness that defies all known pathology, Lafond's paranoia turns into chilling suspicion. He believes the death was not natural, but the result of supernatural interference--a curse summoned by the local tribal witch doctor, who views the European scientific intrusion as a sacrilege.
Lafond's journal entries reveal his frantic investigation, leading him to discover that the witch doctor employed a monstrous, winged creature of immense size to carry out his lethal curse. The "winged death" is not a mosquito, but a colossal, hideous entity summoned from a dark, non-human realm.
The Winged Death is a classic tale of colonial-era horror, co-written by H. P. Lovecraft and Hazel Heald. It marries the tropes of jungle exploration and tropical disease with the chilling revelation of the Cthulhu Mythos, suggesting that the most terrifying threats to humanity are ancient, magical, and flown in on impossible wings.
The cure for civilization is often death.
