The trees grew too thickly, and their trunks were too big for any healthy New England wood. There was too much silence in the dim alleys between them.
H. P. Lovecraft
Image
There are black zones of shadow close to our daily paths, and now and then some evil soul breaks a passage through. When that happens, the man who knows must strike before reckoning the consequences.
H. P. Lovecraft
Image
The process of delving into the black abyss is to me the keenest form of fascination.
H. P. Lovecraft
