LiteratureThe Tale of Satampra Zeiros
The Tale of Satampra Zeiros is Clark Ashton Smith’s account of two thieves seeking abandoned wealth in Commoriom. Their entry into a temple of Tsathoggua releases a fluid predator that pursues them through the night. The survivor writes with the hand he has left, making the act of narration itself evidence of the expedition’s cost. Boastful professional pride and bodily terror remain intertwined throughout.
