“The Horror-Horn” tells the story of a skiing holiday in the shadow of the mysteriously named Ungeheuerhorn mountain. Literally the name translates as “Horror-Horn.” It appears that a local legend has it that hideous and terrifying monsters live in caves high up on the mountain. These monsters are primitive creatures—possibly an early stage of human evolution—but wild, savage, malevolent. Moreover, the legend has it that they violently rape any human, male or female who they can manage to catch. When the narrator of this story loses his way on the mountain as dusk is falling, he soon finds himself pursued by an abonimable female monster, bent on having her evil way with him.

Edward Frederic Benson (1867–1940) was born in Berkshire, England, and educated at Cambridge. He worked in Athens for the British School of Archaeology and later in Egypt for the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies. Benson wrote fiction, reminiscences, and biographies, but is best remembered for his arch satirical novels and his urbane autobiographical studies of Edwardian and Georgian society.
