Revelations of Hali
in English, written by E.S. Bayrolles, 1913
This slim book purports to be a translation of the cryptic testament of the prophet Hali, as interpreted by E.S. Bayrolles, a famous medium. Bayrolles states in his introduction that he was able to effect his translation through automatic writing and by channeling then spirit of Hosieb Alar Robardin, and inhabitant of ancient Carcosa. The book contains thirty-seven canticles, strange and haunting poems that have been known to profoundly affect the emotions of readers. Hali writes of the lake that bears his name, the dread city of Carcosa, and the fleeting nature of truth. Published by Golden Goblin Press. Watson Akeley of Maine donated his copy to the University Library in 1924. (Johnson, Sam, and Sandy Antunes. "Miskatonic University: A Handbook to the Pride of Arkham." Chaosium, Oct. 2005.)
