you ever read ambrose bierce? i’ve only read his devil’s dictionary and it’s hilarious.
“an inhabitant of carcosa” is in this book: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/4366

i was just browsing inside the book and hastur is “god of shepherds” not a monster (yet). |
Yeah, devil’s dictionary and perhaps some short stories? Name very familiar. On bookcase somewhere. Will solve mystery.
But no, clearly I’m not a devotee. Read Devil’s Dictionary and a few others maybe.
