Description
David H. Keller's Tiger Cat, printed in Weird Tales in October 1937, opens with a house sale in Italy. The narrator buys a mountain villa less for its view than for its marble fountain. That spouting Cupid is what he had come to Italy to buy and carry back to America, after a letter from George Seabrook.
The villa commands a valley three and a third miles at its widest, whitewashed cottages set like pearls among grape-vines. Keller builds horror from the purchase itself. A curious piece of marble, a half-ruined stone house, and a valley with no sign of life draw the new owner deeper into the place he has bought.
