“I used to write as an escape. There’s no escape. There’s just me sending my voice into the dark, waiting for an echo." - Laird Barron #lairdbarron #quote #horrorquotes https://www.instagram.com/p/CEuqFm-Jzss/?igshid=367uz6g0xun5

Enlightenment isn’t necessarily a clean process. Enlightenment can be filthy, degenerate, dangerous. Enlightenment is its own reward, its own punishment. You begin to see so much more. And so much more sees you.

-Laird Barron, The Imago Sequence

“He glimpsed a movement independent of his own obscured face, a momentary blur of alabaster like the belly of a large fish rolling on its back before it sank into abyssal night.”

-Laird Barron, Procession of the Black Sloth

“Men are afraid of the devil, but there is no devil, just me and I do as I am bid. It is God that should turn their bowels to soup. Whatever God is, He, or It, created us for amusement. It’s too obvious. Just as He created the prehistoric sharks, the dinosaurs, and the humble mechanism that is a crocodile. And Venus fly traps, and black widow spiders, and human beings. Just as He created a world where every organism survives by rending a weaker organism. Where procreation is an imperative, a leech’s anesthetic against agony and death and disease that accompany the sticky congress of mating. A sticky world, because God dwells in a dark and humid place. A world of appetite, for God is ever hungry. I know, because I am His Mouth.”

“Everyone is looking for the answer. They do not want to find the answer. Unfortunately, the answer will find them.”

“Show me a teaspoon of blood and I will reveal to thee the ineffable nature of the cosmos, naked and squirming.”

Today at http://psychodrivein.com They Remain (2016) They Remain is being promoted as Lovecraftian in nature and is making its premiere tonight (October 7, 2017) at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland, but aside from a Lovecraft quote at the beginning, I had a hard time finding the Cosmic Horror it claims to be peddling. --- Read more of Paul's review at the link in our profile! #theyremain #hplovecraftfilmfestival #hplovecraft #lairdbarron #philipgelatt #rebeccahenderson #williamjacksonharper
