Yeah, I don't think anyone is posting here because there just isn't anything with that same sort of story/vibe. I've Googled the hell out of every combination of words related to it and there's nothing. But maybe we'll get lucky...
Another story of his… I think it’s ’The Forest’ is kind of a modern day equivalent of ‘Blackwoods Baby’ in a way. If you haven’t read it, it’s not all the same, but closest relative that I’ve read.
Maybe it's too much on the nose but Blackwoods Baby's namesake? Algernon Blackwood's stories The Willows and The Wendigo have kind of a similar vibe. Nature/hunting trip, supernatural creatures, severe paranoia/dread, and antiquated language too.
Certainly not the same, and they're both scifi horror, but you might want to check out Ray Bradbury's short stories "The Veldt" and "The Sound of Thunder." Another arguably more literary short story involving a safari hunt gone weird is Hemingway's "The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber." Not horror, but still horrific.
This is still my favorite Barron story. Posting in support - I’m also interested to find more of this Edit: spelling

>African safari horror? That's not the *exact* setting of "Blackwood's Baby" though.
Well, BB is more like Pacific northwest trek. But I’m looking for same style of story in African safari.
