The Author of Beltraffio  (1884) 
by Henry James
The Author of Beltraffio is a short story by Henry James, first published in the English Illustrated Magazine in 1884. This macabre account of desperate family infighting eventually leads to a tragic conclusion. Although the father in the story is a novelist, the tale concentrates far more on his family relationships than on his special concerns as a writer, though some of those concerns affect the outcome. — Excerpted from The Author of Beltraffio on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
