"Winged Death" is a 1934 horror short story by H.P.

The story begins with the discovery of a corpse in a South African hotel, with clues pointing to a journal detailing a doctor's plan to kill a rival using disease-carrying insects, leading to a supernatural climax where the doctor becomes a victim of his own creation.Host - M.P.
