==Synopsis==
A man inherits his late uncle's Scottish estate, Temple House, under the condition that he destroy it completely.
== Publication History==
It what Lumley described as "a genuine error on my part—in no way my usual practice," he sent the manuscript simultaneously to the English-language Italian magazine Kadath and to the revived Weird Tales, published by Zebra as a paperback under the editorship of Lin Carter. Both outlets accepted it, and Kadath published it first, in November 1980, followed by Weird Tales in 1981.
It was later reprinted in The Mammoth Book of Terror (Carroll & Graf, 1991) and in Lumley's collections The Second Wish and Other Exhalations (New English Library, 1995), A Coven of Vampires (Fedogan & Bremer, 1998), and The Taint and Other Novellas (Subterranean Press, 2007). It was the title story of Lumley's collection The House of the Temple (Endeavor Press, 2004).
