Jack London 
The Red One [EPUB ebook] 

Though most of Jack London's novels and short stories fall firmly into the action-adventure category, the prolific author occasionally ventured into other genres, as well. Although "The Red One, " like many of London's tales, is set among an indigenous tribe, the story — which details the discovery of a strange object of worship which seems to have originated in another world — contains some fascinating themes that will please fans of science fiction and supernatural writing, as well.
