John Connolly
“‎"Sarge, mr. Nurd here is threatening to turn me to jelly."
"really?" said Sarge. "what flavor?”
John Connolly, The Gates

H.P. Lovecraft
“Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread.”
H.P. Lovecraft
