"The Curse of Yig" by Zealia B. Bishop and H. P. Lovecraft is a short story written in 1928 and published in 1929. It introduces Yig, a vengeful snake god who punishes those who harm serpents.

a night of horror that transforms superstition into monstrous reality. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
