H.P. Lovecraft: "Searchers after horror haunt strange, far places."

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, school sucks! :/ It keeps me away from everything important... like my computer... Anyway, I told you I liked creepy stuff so I figured I'd give you some creepy quotes I liked from H.P Lovecraft. He's pretty cool; he wrote around the same time as Edgar Allan Poe and they actually had a little rivalry in their time. I was actually excited to look him up because Poe is the reason I wanted to become a writer... Hence, why I write extremely gloomy stories... I feel like I've made a philosophical conclusion... Enjoy! 




"We shall see that at which dogs howl in the dark, and that at which cats prick up their ears after midnight."

"Then the shadows began to gather, first little furtive ones under the table, and then bolder ones in the dark paneled corners." 
-The Strange High House in the Mist

“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown”
-Supernatural Horror in Literature


"The process of delving into the black abyss is to me the keenest form of fascination."

"I have seen beyond the bounds of infinity and drawn down daemons from the stars... I have harnessed the shadows that stride from world to world to sow death and madness..."
-From Beyond



"Searchers after horror haunt strange, far places." 
-The Picture in the House

"In London there is a man who screams when the church bells ring." 
-The Descendant


"That is not dead which can eternal lie, 
And with strange aeons even death may die." 
-The Call of Cthulhu


-Thorn
