Red Hand

Red Hand

by Arthur Machen

Arthur Machen's "The Red Hand" is a chilling tale set in Victorian London, where two gentlemen, driven by morbid curiosity and a penchant for the macabre, find themselves entangled in a baffling murder. The victim, a young woman, has been slain with an ancient, ritualistic weapon, a red-stained hand. As they delve deeper into the investigation, they uncover secrets that challenge their understanding of humanity, evolution, and the nature of reality. With a blend of psychological suspense, gothic atmosphere, and subtle hints of the supernatural, the story explores themes of darkness, hidden desires, and the unsettling power of the past.
