“It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earths’ dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be let alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests.”
Chapter 12, At the Mountain of Madness, H.P. Lovecraft
At the Mountain of Madness will be my last Lovecraft novel for a while. Although there are a few of his texts that have been left unread, I need time to regain my equilibrium. I would like to do a fact checking study sometime soon on Lovecraft’s mention of ancient texts, places, and purported experts.
