An Egyptian Hornet is a short story by author Algernon Blackwood. - AsNotedIn
THE word has an angry, malignant sound that brings the idea of attack vividly into the mind. There is a vicious sting about it somewhere – even a foreigner, ignorant of the meaning, must feel it. A hornet is wicked; it darts and stabs; it pierces, aiming without provocation for the face and eyes. The name suggests a metallic droning of evil wings, fierce flight, and poisonous assault.
