"Mysteries of the Worm" is the title of a fictional book created by Robert Bloch and often featured in stories based on the Cthulhu Mythos inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's works.
Bloch created the tome in his "The Secret in the Tomb". Lovecraft, who was corresponding with Bloch, enjoyed the story and provided him with the original Latin title: De Vermis Mysteriis. Bloch used both titles in "The Shambler from the Stars", and the work has appeared under either title in stories since.
The author is Ludvig Prinn, a sorcerer of the 16th Century who travelled to Syria and learned magic from the "wonder-workers" there.
