==Summary==
A story by [[Clark Ashton Smith]] which introduces [[Quachil Attaus]] and the ''[[Testament of Carnamagos]]'' to the Cthulhu Mythos in relation to the tale of an unnamed character who obtains the forbidden tome from a sinister book-seller, and in reading it accidentally seals his own doom by summoning a terrible demon of corruption and decay.

==Comments / Trivia==

* One of the original Mythos stories to follow the since oft-pastiched plot of a clueless cultist who obtains a forbidden book from a creepy book-seller, rushes home with it, and then reads it, only to have his face eaten by a Tentacle Monster with an awkward name (in this case, [[Quachil Attaus]]).
