The
true weird tale has something more than a secret murder, bloody bones,
or a sheeted form clanking chains. An atmosphere of breathless and
unexplainable dread of outer, unknown forces must be present; a hint of
that most terrible conception of the human brain-a malign and particular suspension or defeat of those fixed laws of Nature which are our only safeguard against the assaults of chaos and the daemons of unplumbed space. -H. P. Lovecraft
