  • Blinding Horror

    What would be the most horrifying?
    To see this horror creeping toward you, losing your sanity at each of its grotesque transformations?
    Or been blinded by the rays of unholy light it emits, thus avoiding its hideous appearance but unable to locate the thing?
    ***
    Qu’est-ce qui serait le plus horrible selon vous ?
    Voir cette horreur ramper dans votre direction et perdre votre santé mentale à chacune de ses grotesques contorsions ?
    Ou être aveugle par ses rayons de lumière malsaine, protégé de son hideuse apparence mais incapable de savoir où elle se trouve?

  • Hunting Horror

    “And hoary Nodens raised a howl of triumph when Nyarlathotep, close on his quarry, stopped baffled by a glare that seared his formless hunting-horrors to grey dust. ”
    – HPL , Dream-Quest Of Unknown Kadath

    “And in the air about him were great viperine creatures, which had curiously distorted heads, and grotesquely great clawed appendages, supporting themselves with ease by the aid of black rubbery wings of singularly monstrous dimensions.”
    – August Derleth, The Lurker at the Threshold

  • Capharnaüm

    Some call it hoarding,
    Some call it collecting,
    Some call it anticipating.
    I call it “building my lair”

  • Stranded flutist

    The flutist has played for eons
    To calm the Sultan of Demons
    Or so it seems, no time here,
    No place either, so crowded

    So when came the feeble call
    from a teeny tiny blue ball
    It came and eat profusely
    And now wanders aimlessly

  • Just a maid, Ep.15 : Cooking

    Josephine is good at cleaning. Too good, in fact. The floor has never been so free of dust, spots, twigs, stranded leaves, carpets and cats. Her constant oozing melted the varnishes all around and even her recognize that eating the laundry was a mistake.  

    So now she’s in charge of cooking. She’s very fast at it, working with all of her hearths. The quality had dropped a little but service is quite remarkable.

    It was only natural to grant her the position of chief since she ate the last cook.
