Doris Horus

Doris Horus is the librarian for Miskatonic Library of Miskatonic University in The Illuminatus! Trilogy.

Conspiratorial

According to the trilogy:"Doris didn't like the Necronomicon, although she considered herself an emancipated and freethinking young woman. There was something sinister, or to be downright honest about it, perverted about that book and not in a nice, exciting way, but in a sick and frightening way. All those strange illustrations, always with five-sided borders just like the Pentagon in Washington, but with those people inside doing all those freaky sex acts with those other creatures who weren't people at all. It was frankly Doris's opinion that old Abdul Alhazred had been smoking some pretty bad grass when he dreamed up those things. Or maybe it was something stronger than grass: she remembered one sentence from the text: 'Onlie those who have eaten a certain alkaloid herb, whose name it were wise not to disclose to the unilluminated, maye in the fleshe see a Shoggothe.' I wonder what a 'Shoggothe' is, Doris thought idly; probably one of those disgusting creatures that the people in the illustrations are doing those horny things with. Yech."
