H. P. Lovecraft 
The Horror at Red Hook, The Hound, Hypnos, In the Vault 

‘There are sacraments of evil as well as of good about us, and we live and move to my belief in an unknown world, a place where there are caves and shadows and dwellers in twilight. It is possible that man may sometimes return on the track of evolution, and it is my belief that an awful lore is not yet dead.’
