"...Of the Shining Trapezohedron, Blake speaks often, calling it a window on all time and space, and tracing its history from the days it was fashioned on Dark Yuggoth, before ever the Old Ones brought it to Earth, to be peered on eons later in Lemoria by the first human beings. It crossed strange lands and stronger seas... The Pharaoh Nephren-Ka built around it a temple with a windowless crypt and there did that which caused his name to be stricken from all monuments and records. Then it slept in the ruins of that evil fane which the priests and the new Pharaoh had destroyed, 'till the delver's spade once more brought it forth to curse mankind..." - H.P. LOVECRAFT
To the church two miles away
Atop the ancient Federal Hill
Blake's attention returned each night
and like a fool he ventured forth...
Where angels had fled - Where innocents had bled
He climbs to his fate - The HAUNTER awaits...
Horror sixty years concealed
half-glimpsed in stained glass blasphemies
Research and dreams had led him here
The tower staircase beckoned him...
Where all light had fled - Where all Hope was dead
He climbs to his fate - The HAUNTER awaits...
The 7 Icons behind 7 chairs
surrounded a peculiar masterpiece
A Pedestal of strange angles
on which Blake found the key to his demise
A Curious Box in which he found
The Legendary Stone of Nephren-Ka
The corner hid, thick with cobwebs,
The Ladder leading to the Tower's ATTIC...
NOISES FROM ABOVE? HYPNOTIC STONE EFFECT?
STARE INTO THE BOX - SOMETHING STARING BACK!
Blake awoke on the attic ladder
the foetid stench and the sound ABOVE
Running madly, Nervous Breakdown
the light goes out, the THING goes free!
Where man lived in peace - Now comes the Beast
The Sun rises Black - The HAUNTER IS BACK!!!
