(This post has been revised to include Walter Karig’s portrait…scroll to the end.)

______________________________

Thus is gained the power of the silent death that strikes without sound,
without wound,
by night,
by day.
First prayeth one in the language of the ancient ones thus:

Khatnoth takhath blecho.

Now draweth one the symbol of the female and upon it the symbol of the male,
the whole making the symbol of the unmoving star with is the home of Zotz…
Now cometh the letting of blood and the drinking of blood
and thereafter if ye would strike any living thing dead
thou hast but to point thy finger and call upon Zotz…

Z o t z!

Dust jacket cover art, nicely symbolizing the novel’s opening chapter.
