"I'm a handful of pages into this one and struggling. I definitely prefer horror fiction firmly rooted in character and the cold, distant third-person narration here is making things very difficult." Dec 11, 2023 12:33PM

H.P. Lovecraft
“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown”
H.P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror in Literature

H.P. Lovecraft
“I have seen the dark universe yawning
Where the black planets roll without aim,
Where they roll in their horror unheeded,
Without knowledge, or lustre, or name.”
H. P. Lovecraft, Nemesis

Steven Erikson
“You stand before a god! Speak your eloquence for all posterity. Be Profound!"
"Profound ... huh." Temper was silent for a long moment, studying the cobbles of the alley mouth. And then he lifted his helmed head faced Shadowthrone, and said "Fuck off.”
Steven Erikson, The Crippled God

Glen Cook
“Every ounce of my cynicism is supported by historical precedent.”
Glen Cook, Shadow Games

Steven Erikson
“Name none of the fallen, for they stand in our place, and stand there still in each moment of our lives. Let my death hold no glory, and let me die forgotten and unknown. Let it not be said that I was one among the dead to accuse the living.”
Steven Erikson, Deadhouse Gates
