1 " Damn it, it wasn’t quite fresh enough! "

― H.P. Lovecraft , Herbert West—Reanimator

2 " Now that he is gone and the spell is broken, the actual fear is greater. Memories and possibilities are ever more hideous than realities. "

― H.P. Lovecraft , Herbert West—Reanimator

3 " His chief delights were of a less public and philanthropic kind, requiring many explanations of sounds which seemed peculiar even amidst that babel of the damned.

His interest became a hellish and perverse addiction to the repellently and fiendishly abnormal; he gloated calmly over artificial monstrosities which would make most healthy men drop dead from fright and disgust; he became, behind his pallid intellectuality, a fastidious Baudelaire of physical experiment—a languid Elagabalus of the tombs.
