In an act of what many would probably consider an act of vandalism if not downright sacrilege, I tore this illustration by Dave Carson of the hapless Father Sevich from pages of issue 22/23 of Dagon, where Thomas Ligotti’s The Library of Byzantium - a tale recounting the most strange and inscrutable end to which that unfortunate priest ultimately succumbed - made its first appearance.
There is something downright unsettling about this image (one of my favourite Dave Carson pieces), such that I occasionally like to use it as a means for meditating upon the terrible fate which awaits us all.
