There, anything is possible because just thinking makes it so. Charles Beaumont calls that place Yonder.

“Opening this book constitutes a trip to Yonder. Come as you are – because where you’re going there are millions of things and people more bizarre-looking than you. Not only that, but they’ve got worse troubles – or maybe more fun…”]]> 246684 4.13 159 23 1958 1975820 0553227602 9780553227604 1 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1975820.Best_of_Beaumont 4.40 5 246684 4.13 159 23 1982 437962 1 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1206653212m/437962.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1206653212s/437962.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/437962.The_Intruder 4.67 3 246684 4.13 159 23 1959 5564538 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1235253152m/5564538.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1235253152s/5564538.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5564538.The_Fiend_in_You 3.50 2 In the lonely darkness of your bed, have you ever started up trembling, sweating - knowing you have been wakened by something, unable to discover what?
This is outside horror - terror you can dispel with a light.
But in the long reaches of the night, have you ever cringed in a knot, curdled with terror at something remembered, something you nearly did, or wanted to do?
You are getting a little closer.
For horror comes from somewhere. Skeptics claim it is the invention, or the result, of over-heated imaginations. And in doing so they prove the worst horror of all - that the real roots of abysmal terror and monstrous evil lie in the human mind.

This is the fiend in you...
