S. P. Meek 36 min read

Around a Stone Age campfire, a stolen scrap of forbidden liver sets a high priestess, a tribal chief, and the will of a sky-god against a frightened maiden.

S. P. Meek's 1930 story plunges into the savage tribal life of thirty millennia ago, where taboo and superstition rule and Uglik the chief metes out brutal justice. Vivid, dramatic prehistoric adventure from the pulp golden age. Read it for atmospheric caveman fiction, all firelight, ritual, and primal danger.
