Notes

1. This is the name of the character as given in the Weird Tales appearance of the story. Subsequent appearances (beginning with The Opener of the Way [1945]) give the name as Carnoti. Stugatche is clearly Bloch’s original name for this character, and it is mentioned in several letters by Lovecraft. Bloch remarks of it: “The name comes from a group of imaginary characters who—believe it or not—were invented to serve as players on teams in a card-game called ‘Baseball’—the invention of my friends Herb Williams and Harold Gauer. . . . I later used the name for a central character in my story, ‘The Faceless God’” (L 70n.205). Perhaps August Derleth advised Bloch to change the name for the book appearance.

2. I am grateful to Robert M. Price for providing me with the text of this story.
