The Unaussprechlichen Kulten (allso know as the Mysteries of the Worm) is the title of a fictional book created by Robert Bloch. H.P. Lovecraft prodivded the latin name of the title.

Description

De Vermis Mysteriis is the work of one Ludvig Prinn; a Flemish alchemist and supposed sorcerer. Prinn had spent a great deal of time traveling in the east (particularly in Syria and Eygpt) and claimed to have obtained a great age through the use of his sorcery. Eventualy Prinn was captured by the Inquisition and sentanced to death. While awaiting execution in his cell he wrote the volume he called De Vermiss Mysteriis. How Prinn managed to have the blasphemous manuscript smuggled past his captors is unknown though the nobleman and sorcerer Baron Hauptman is supposed to have had a hand in it. The book was published in Brussels during the next year, by Eucharius Cervicornnus.
