Lovecraft

Reading the cosmic horror stories by H.P. Lovecraft. Something about them got me a little freaked out. Especially those of Nyarlathotep, H.P.'s humanoid abomination spreading chaos across earth, serving Azathoth, the great blind idiot god. Nyarlathotep is often described as a tall "dark man" and also refered to as "the Faceless God". However, he is also called "The Crawling Chaos" and "The Mighty Messenger" and has over a thousand forms.He is known for driving people that interact with him insane, killing them, or worse. All considering, something about all this is rather unnerving.
