I want to play a drinking game where someone is nominated to read a short story by HP Lovecraft, a horror writer from the first half of the last century. Whenever a horror is “indescribable”, “too terrible for words” or Lovecraft in any way cops out of an explaination or description, everybody drinks. Everyone would be hammered at the end of a 20-page story. He was a pretty solid gothic horror/fantasy writer, but he knew well that your own brain can scare you much better than he could. It is anybody’s guess whether he really was leaving it to our imaginations to fill in the blanks or if he was just very lazy.
