The Hound of Death: A Short Story
by Agatha Christie
In the remote Cornish village of Folbridge, a Belgian refugee nun named Sister Marie Angelique harbors a terrifying secret from the start of the Great War. While a skeptical doctor attempts to probe her psyche using crystal gazing and word association, a visiting witness learns of a 'miracle' that leveled a convent and left the scorched silhouette of a giant hound. As the doctor uncovers fragments of an ancient, destructive power known as the 'Sixth Sign,' the line between medical hallucination and supernatural reality begins to blur.
