There are horrors beyond life's edge that we do not suspect, and once in a while man's evil prying calls them just within our range.

I know always that I am an outsider; a stranger in this century and among those who are still men.

Searchers after horror haunt strange, far places.

The process of delving into the black abyss is to me the keenest form of fascination.

No new horror can be more terrible than the daily torture of the commonplace.

I am, indeed, an absolute materialist so far as actual belief goes; with not a shred of credence in any form of supernaturalism—religion, spiritualism, transcendentalism, metempsychosis, or immortality.
