"The Secret in the Parchment"

by Lin Carter
originally published Crypt of Cthulhu #54, Eastertide, 1988

Ptomeron, rejected by his love Zeetha, in prehistoric Ultima Thule, retires to a remote tower where he studies magic no one else will touch.

He constructs a device that focuses something called the "Z Light", allowing him to see into subterranean worlds.

Peering in, he finds a horde of maggot-like creatures crawling on a woman's body.  Zeetha's.

A rather grotesque little sketch by Carter.
