I'll redo it here.
A similar theme is done in the Lovecraft collaboration "Man of Stone". There is a difference,tho. The villain had changed a dog (to test the potion) and then his wife's lover into stone. Then when he came after her, she managed to only take a sip and ,only partially changed, was able to overcome the villain and tie him into a chair. She berated him for his cruelties,his brutality and, worst of all, his practicing black magic. After that, she force-fed him most of the potion. He went to stone almost at once. She then, with difficulty, as her joints were stiffening, deliberately drank the rest of the potion and fell down a stone image !
Partially disabled,her true love dead she saw herself as having nothing to live for !
That's what the investigators found in the cave: a stone dog with bristling fur finely delineated in the marble (he sensed something was happening to him,before he became stone), a statue of a young man, a statue of an older bearded man in a chair, and a statue of a woman. The diary, written with difficulty by the partially petrified woman, told the amazing story.
Lovecraft, as a sort of signature, said the formula to make the potion, was to be found in the Book of Eibon, alleged to have been written during the Ice Age in Hyperborea (which would give the long-lost original an age of about 300,000 years !). Any grimoire could have been substituted without altering the story !
statue.
Wondeful artwork however, and a great mini-story. Good thing I can read small text. x3
