this is the song that's been running in my head nonstop the past few days. I'm pretty sure it's not some sort of sad subconscious commentary on the state of the world, I think it's just stuck on a loop.

While the underground temple is lovely and amazing I do have to wonder: what did the family live on while he was spending all his waking hours digging? It must have been a strange family life, with dad always under the house except when he slept...

Kudos to REH; I love Lovecraft's stories but they really did need some shaking up!

Putting together lovecraft and that temple by somebody who, eh, loved his craft results in some delightful (?) images.
