Lovecraft, Gaëtan Clérambault and William Beckford in order to tackle this enigmatic monstrosity.

I enjoy your blog. My favorite posts are the ones without text. Images, in my opinion, convey more meaning than text. The image shall conquer the written word.
I look forward to gazing at more of your posts
