This story, by Clark Ashton Smith appeared in the July 1936 issue of Weird Tales magazine. I initially looked up the magazine to read Red Nails. I found myself reading Necromancy of Naat first, however. I was really surprised that a pulp magazine form 1936 had such fun fantasy stories. Necromancy of Naat is about a prince who is trying to find his betrothed (we don't know much about her other than she's pretty hot... seriously). He gets shipwrecked on an island and involved in a plot by two young wizards to kill their father (a more powerful wizard).
The story was short, sweet, a little twisty (but just a little), and make me curious about the rest of the author's Zothique stories.
