Hazuth-Kleg

"Hazuth-Kleg" is a short Cthulhu Mythos story by American author Gary Myers.
==Synopsis==
A man named Sliph approaches a locked gate looking for Cathuria leaving from Providence. He came across an elderly woman in black robes and a sack speaking of the stars. He ran off in fear and ends up following her advice to follow a star brighter than the others. He found a peculiar destination as three figures followed him, one wearing a yellow robe with hieroglyphs. They spoke tersely that it was surely time and Sliph followed them toward the star.
He lost them in an alley of the city of Tobacconists, called Hazuth-Kleg, where he walked through the disturbing buildings and found a small iron gate meeting the Watcher who was performing a ritual. Behind the Watcher’s shoulder, Sliph noticed the black-cloaked old woman approaching a bejeweled house. He followed her directly to a mysteriously opening door as she vanished. He saw her on the fifth floor of the building on a hoary dais with ‘Azathoth’ wrought in emeralds with the entrails of a sacrificed child with the three figures from before present in the ritual. He was invited to dine with them before sleeping.
A charwoman appeared to Sliph’s home in Providence and was horrified at what she found there.
