| HP Lovecraft, for those not familiar with him, wrote dark fantasy. He lived in Providence, Rhode Island. To like his work you have to like the kind of strange and twisted worldview that you might have met in Jorge Borges, certain of Herman Hesse's books, Ambrose Bierce, or ETA Hoffman. These are all one of a kind authors, however, and so is Lovecraft. I like this Oxford University based Campus Crusade. Think what the world would be like if it spread. |

A campus crusade hymn: .Who's the Elder God we fear?
The
most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to
correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst
of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The
sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little;
but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such
terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we
shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the
peace and safety of a new dark age.
