They say foul beings of Old Times still lurk In dark forgotten corners of the
world, And Gates still gape to loose, on
certain nights, Shapes pent in Hell.
– “People of the Monolith”

–––– –

They lumber through the night With their elephantine tread;
I shudder in affright As I cower in my bed.
They lift colossal wings On the high gable roofs
Which tremble to the trample Of their mastodonic hoofs.
– “Out of the Old Land”

		+	Examined through a microscope, the 'white leather' cover is found to be composed of cellulose. The pages appear to be extensions of the cover.
		+
		+	Liquids (tea and blood) bead up and roll of the pages without leaving a mark.
		+	Damage to the pages regrows, including the ink. The cover appears to be impossible to damage with a scalpel or flame.

-White leather, 61/4" x 101/2", 104 pages, title on cover page.  This slim volume looks to have been hand-crafted with an eye towards quality bordering on opulence.  Te pages and leather cover are excellently hand-stitched and the paper used is top quality.  The pages and leather cover are excellently hand-stiched and the paper used is top quality.  The pages themselves were printed as individual lithographic plates, that is to say etched on plates rather than with a regular moveable-type press.  Every page has elaborate geometrical designs along the boarder<sp>; there is no artwork as such, save for grotesques incorporated into the into the first letter of each poem.
