On the Victorian table is a large book in embossed brown leather binding with gold corners. At the top of the cover is the author's name: R. Zelazny written in overlaid dark bronze letters. Below it is written "A night in the" in ancient letters with monograms. In the middle of the cover, an open gate is painted, flooded with a dead- green fog. Right from the cover, long monstrous tentacles crawl out of the fog onto the table, breaking through from the cover into the real world and creating a sense of three- dimensionality of the image. At the bottom of the cover, the words "linesome October" are written in ancient letters with monograms. There is a large hound dog sitting next to the table, and a black rat on the table next to Smith's book. One leg of the table is wrapped around a snake. in the photo, Victorian- style wallpaper and an antique grandfather clock on which an owl is sitting. A ruby ring is lying on the floor. the whole drawing should be executed with saturated colors, in the style of Rembrandt
