Children will always be afraid of the dark, and men with minds sensitive to hereditary impulse will always tremble at the thought of the hidden and fathomless worlds of strange life which may pulsate in the gulfs beyond the stars, or press hideously upon our own globe in unholy dimensions which only the dead and the moonstruck can glimpse.
–H. P. Lovecraft, “Supernatural Horror in Literature”
Very thoughtful. I actually read twice to understand. Good one.
Thank you, Nikesh!
You’re welcome
Reading this, makes me think that maybe horror speaks to the child in all of us.
As old as we may get, we will always be children to the universe. Thanks, Richard!
