I read that book. The framing device is two tourists happening upon the caved-in ruin of the house and finding, in the crumble, a damaged book. The middle pages are ruined beyond recall, but the rest is a narrative of horror and wildness. Attacks by malific swine-things, a trip into the far distant future, the deaths of two dogs, and then ....

I forgot about this story! At first glance I thought this fellow was the Hyena-Swine from The Island of Dr. Moreau!! Silly me.

Ah, actually I just read Island of Dr. M, I wanted to do a horror from there but nothing struck me, I mean maybe Moreau could be the horror cause of his experiments, or one of the beasts, but I also thought of the swine-thing and just gave up.

Go with Dr. Moreau, definitely! He's the source of the horror, as you said! It's like the old Hammer Frankenstein movies; the Baron's attitude and the lengths he went to were far scarier than his creatures. Do Moreau with a bit of Charles Laughton, as a homage to Island of Lost Souls!

Well, Vulturio is the main antagonist in the book I've written: The Bride of Chaos! The link is in my Deviant ID spot...but the most visually horrific character in the book is the abominable Lokius Nefandous, heh-heh...
