Speaking of the short story,how was the creature described in the book? Reason I'm asking is because I was looking for a copy of the book and one of the versions of the book kinda had a goofy looking purple monster on it. I'm pretty sure he was not described as purple and goofy looking in the book right?

This is what I'm talking about en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Goes_There%3F_(collection)#/media/File%3AWho_Goes_There%3F_(John_Campbell_book)_1st_edition_cover_art.jpg

"It was face up there on the plain, greasy planks of the table. The broken half of the bronze ice axe was still buried in the queer skull. Three mad, hate-filled eyes blazed up with a living fire, bright as fresh-spilled blood. from a face ringed with a writhing, loathsome nest of worms, blue, mobile worms that crawled where hair should grow."
