Re: Robert E. Howard story question
I really liked "Pigeons From Hell," but the title is extremely misleading. It should've been called "The Blassenville Manor." Aside from that, it's a classic Southern Gothic tale.
"In a less scientific age, he would have been a devil-worshipper, a partaker in the abominations of the Black Mass; or would have given himself to the study and practice of sorcery. His was a religious soul that had failed to find good in the scheme of things; and lacking it, was impelled to make of evil itself an object of secret reverence."

~ Clark Ashton Smith, "The Devotee of Evil"
