  That sift down from the frightened skies,

  Serve here beneath the R’lyehan waves

  The alien monster of our graves.

  DAEMONIC NATHICANA, by K.A. Opperman

  I watched as divine Nathicana

  Returned to the garden of Zaïs,

  The zephyr-lulled garden of Zaïs,

  Where lounges the lazy iguana.

  I watched her descend to her dais,

  Her pink-stoned and sphinx-holden dais,

  Daemonic, encrimsoned with mana,

  The queenly, the cold Nathicana.

  She bore on her brow red Banapis,

  A crescent like horns of a daemon,

  A sinful and star-fallen daemon

  With eyes like deep pools of black lapis.

  I longed for my long-ago leman,

  In yesteryear’s labyrinth my leman,

  A man who knows not where his map is,

  Bewildered ‘neath blood red Banapis.

  She walked on the breath blown from Yabon,

  Did ebony-tressed Nathicana,

  The scarlet-mouthed whore Nathicana,

  At autumn, the day men call Mabon.

  And over the flora and fauna—

  Marmoreal flora and fauna—

  She shed ruby light that looked drab on

  Fair Zaïs, ‘neath Dzannin-cursed Yabon.

  ASENATH, by Ashley Dioses

  Her eyes, her strangely large and gleaming eyes, were dark

  Against her gorgeous face and yet she left her mark

  In Arkham when she met her lover. Then her claws

  Sunk deep into her prey, while hiding all her flaws.

  She was one of the Innsmouth Waites, from the seaport

  Of such repute, infamous for the strangest sort

  Of dwellers that live in the half-deserted town.

  Her name was Asenath, she-devil of such renown.

  At Miskatonic, she, magician, ruled the school—

  Accomplishing such marvels to the eyes of fools.

  Asenath professed the ability to raise storms,

  And animals, beloved pets, would not, to her, warm.

  She could make canines howl with motions of her hand

  And then displayed, at times, remnants of knowledge banned

  Or languages so singular they shocked her mates.

  With winks, she would extract some facts from altered states.

  She was a hypnotist and, without any shame,

  She would swap forms to be free from physical frames.

  By gazing at a fellow student she’d exchange

  Her personality with theirs to just derange

  Those so-called weaker minds and practice all her skills.

  Her husband, she ensnared, was just right for her thrills.

  She eyed him with a predatory air, for she

  Desired his mind, his fine-wrought brain, to become free

  From Asenath’s current form and gain a body near

  Her form as Kamog, once a wizard that struck fear.

  Her husband spoke of hideous exchanges of

  Her mind, while his body summoned spirits above,

  Below, and between from a Cyclopean waste.

  He felt he was becoming gradually erased.

  Asenath lay felled, by his own hand, in their storeroom,

  Yet little did he know that that would be his doom!

  She switched her mind with his while he was locked away

  In Arkham Sanitarium where she would stay.

  Asenath was dead so long ago for it was Fate

  That would reveal she was, her father, Ephrem Waite!
