Of the Doom of Irem

"Of the Doom of Irem" is a short Cthulhu Mythos work by Mexican author Luis F. Abbadie.
==Overview==
The piece is written as a factual translation of a portion of the Necronomicon (although it is stated to have come from a Latin fragment, itself translated into Spanish and then English).
The excerpt concerns the building and subsequent destruction of the city of Irem, first mentioned in the Cthulhu Mythos in the short story "The Nameless City" (), but with a number of major differences; for example, Irem is stated to have been built by Shaddad (similar to the Encyclopedia Britannica entry of the builder, a man named Shedad) as opposed to the inhabitants described by Lovecraft.
==Publication History==
"Of the Doom of Irem" was published in the online Mythos zine Nightscapes in September 1998.
