Medusa's coil by Zealia B. Bishop and H. P. Lovecraft

"Medusa's Coil" by Zealia B. Bishop and H. P. Lovecraft is a short story first published in January 1939. A traveler seeking shelter at a decaying plantation hears a tale of forbidden love and supernatural horror. When Denis de Russy brings his mysterious Parisian bride Marceline home, dark secrets emerge through a painter's portrait—revealing monstrous truths about the woman's true nature and her serpentine hair that possesses its own sinister life. The story blends Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos with Greek mythology. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
