H.E. Edgmon
“Aren鈥檛 gods normally off in some god space doing important things?鈥濃€�

All of her [Vorgaine鈥檚] eyes blink at once and it is revolting and oh my Her I鈥檓 going to be sick. 鈥淚 breathed this world into life, Wyatt. What could be more important than living within it?”
H.E. Edgmon, The Fae Keeper

H.P. Lovecraft
“I knew not which to believe, yet longed more and more to cross forever into the unknown land; for doubt and secrecy are the lure of lures, and no new horror can be more terrible than the daily torture of the commonplace.”
H.P. Lovecraft, Ex Oblivione

Arthur Machen
“Very good. I can fancy what you saw. Yes; it is horrible enough; but after all, it is an old story, an old mystery played in our day, and in dim London streets instead of amidst the vineyards and the olive gardens. We know what happened to those who chanced to meet the Great God Pan, and those who are wise know that all symbols are symbols of something, not of nothing. It was, indeed, an exquisite symbol beneath which men long ago veiled their knowledge of the most awful, most secret forces which lie at the heart of all things; forces before which the souls of men must wither and die and blacken, as their bodies blacken under the electric current. Such forces cannot be named, cannot be spoken, cannot be imagined except under a veil and a symbol, a symbol to the most of us appearing a quaint, poetic fancy, to some a foolish tale. But you and I, at all events, have known something of the terror that may dwell in the secret place of life, manifested under human flesh; that which is without form taking to itself a form. Oh, Austin, how can it be? How is it that the very sunlight does not turn to blackness before this thing, the hard earth melt and boil beneath such a burden?”
Arthur Machen, The Great God Pan

H.P. Lovecraft
“I cannot think of the deep sea without shuddering at the nameless things that may at this very moment be crawling and floundering on its slimy bed, worshipping their ancient stone idols and carving their own detestable likenesses on submarine obelisks of water-soaked granite. I dream of a day when they may rise above the billows to drag down in their reeking talons the remnants of puny, war-exhausted mankind- of a day when the land shall sink, and the dark ocean floor shall ascend amidst universal pandemonium.”
H.P. Lovecraft, The Whisperer in Darkness: Collected Stories Volume 1

H.E. Edgmon
“There you are,鈥� says the single most unsettling voice I鈥檝e ever heard. It sounds like a thousand voices speaking all at once, a chorus of all kinds of people stacked over top one another.

I turn and my stomach drops.

Standing there, in front of the door carved into the hillside, with her hundred eyes, and fiery wings, and row after row of razor-sharp teeth, is the goddess Vorgaine.”
H.E. Edgmon, The Fae Keeper

“To the North of this, in the direction of the West, I saw The Place Where The Silent Ones Kill; and this was so named, because there, maybe ten thousand years gone, certain humans adventuring from the Pyramid, came off the Road Where The Silent Ones Walk, and into that place, and were immediately destroyed. And this was told by one who escaped; though he died also very quickly, for his heart was frozen. And this I cannot explain; but so it was set out in the Records.”
William Hodgenson

William Hope Hodgson
“And from The Country Whence Comes The Great Laughter, the Laughter sounded constant 鈥� as it were an uncomfortable and heart-shaking voice-thunder rolling thence over the Lands, out from the unknown East. And the Pit of the Red Smoke filled all the Deep Valley with redness, so that the smoke rose above the edge, and hid the bases of the Towers upon the far side.”
William Hope Hodgson Hope Hodgson

Frank Herbert
“Crystal teeth flashed in the dim light. He saw the yawning mouth-cavern with, far back, the ambient movement of dim flame. The overpowering redolence of the spice swept over him. But the worm had stopped. It remained in front of him as First Moon lifted over the butte. The light reflected off the worm's teeth outlining the faery glow of chemical fires deep within the creature.”
Frank Herbert, Children of Dune

“I stared in stoned awe at a beast with a body made of books, the head of an alligator, and teeth of broken piano keys. I gawked at a giant baby doll climbing the Eiffel Tower with thousands of spindly naked people flying out of its mouth. The visual journey ended with a serpentine creature whose lamprey mouth coiled around the door鈥檚 border as hundreds of tiny tendrils extended from the mouth鈥檚 center. The tendrils reached toward the baby doll and alligator book creature and its piano key teeth, while other nightmare beasts danced at their feet and in the background.”
Chase Griffin, How To Play A Necromancer's Theremin

Sheri Singerling
“鈥t reaches for me with tendrils that turn to hands then claws. There are faces in it, so many human faces, screaming and retching and crying and stunned by an enormous pain. There are eyes everywhere and mouths and rows of teeth, endless, row on row, back into its depths.”
Sheri Singerling, Nytho
