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.
