“Once the average horror aficionado became aware author H.P Lovecraft was a disturbed and racist man the term for his style of cosmic horror, ‘Lovecraftian’, was eventually replaced with 'Tekelian’. This was derived after the screaming cry of “Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!” made by a Shoggoth and other creatures in several of the Cthulhu Mythos stories. The term is far more alien and with a depth that doesn’t fully sanitize the origins of the author while embracing those that also produced works in that theme.”

"Disintegration is quite painless, I assure you."
“He shewed me a morbid statue whose contours almost made me shake with the potency of its black suggestion.”
“Sounds, possibly musical, heard in the night from other worlds or realms of being. That cult would never die till the stars came right again.”
"I found myself projected against an obstacle which I could not penetrate. It was like the others, yet incalculably denser. I had, I felt, been halted by a barrier. Struggling anew, I came to the end of the drug-dream."
