Summary
Nushain is a mediocre astrologer in the city of Ummaos, more given to wine and to flattering his clients than to the stars. One night, casting his own horoscope for the first time in years, he finds an unfamiliar constellation and three signs he cannot read.
Then the visitors come: a drunken mummy, a black man and a skeleton, each arriving in turn to escort him on a journey he never agreed to take. They lead him out of the city, down through caverns, across a subterranean sea and at last into the house of Vergama, the keeper of a great book in which every destiny is written. There Nushain learns what the three signs meant, and what the last hieroglyph of his own entry is going to be.
First published in Weird Tales in 1935, The Last Hieroglyph is one of Clark Ashton Smith’s finest Zothique tales, set on the last continent of a dying earth. It is an ornate, ironic fable of fate and futility from one of the great masters of weird fiction.
Listen to the complete, unabridged audiobook of this classic dark fantasy story.
