Over 10 years later, and hardly anyone's noticed this genius. Shame!

"It was very dark, but the city’s lights always burned, and I expected to see them there amidst the rain and wind. Yet when I looked from that highest of all gable windows, looked while the candles sputtered and the insane viol howled with the night-wind, I saw no city spread below, and no friendly lights gleamed from remembered streets, but only the blackness of space illimitable; unimagined space alive with motion and music, and having no semblance of anything on Earth."

AlexDraco The Abyss...

[@aarya1467]

I don't know how but that empty abyss was scarier than if there was a howling monster there

[@AlexDraco]

@@aarya1467 Indeed. Actually, the 'unseen' in lovecraftian stories is often much more terrifying than what's described. Lovecraft's stories are written to be "felt", and "experienced", even before being "read".
