Book cover for Conan: The Halls of Immortal Darkness: The Heroic Legends Series
“Careful where you stare, Northman, lest someone cut your eye out,” he told the Cimmerian. Conan replied with deceptive mildness, “That blade is curved and light, fit to strike from the saddle. Afoot it is a child’s toy. These aren’t the ...more

Jack Vance
“I categorically declare first my absolute innocence, second my lack of criminal intent, and third my effusive apologies.”
Jack Vance, Cugel the Clever

Robert W. Chambers
“Shall I tell you all about her, cat? She is very beautiful – your mistress,’ he murmured drowsily, ‘and her hair is heavy as burnished gold. I could paint her – not on canvas – for I should need shades and tones and hues and dyes more splendid than the iris of a splendid rainbow. I could only paint her with closed eyes, for in dreams alone can such colours as I need be found. For her eyes, I must have azure from skies untroubled by a cloud – the skies of dreamland. For her lips, roses from the palaces of slumberland, and for her brow, snow-drifts from mountains which tower in fantastic pinnacles to the moons – oh, much higher than our moon here”
Robert W. Chambers, The King in Yellow

Nicole Cushing
“The cat batted the thick, orange extension cord with his soft white paws; catching it in his teeth, gnawing, oblivious to the fact that Sheila planned to use it to hang herself. “Stop it!” Her voice cracked, her face grew hot.”
Nicole Cushing, The Mirrors

Robert W. Chambers
“The mask of self-deception was no longer a mask for me, it was a part of me. Night lifted it, laying bare the stifled truth below; but there was no one to see except myself,”
Robert W. Chambers, The King in Yellow

Arthur Machen
“My theory," said that ingenious person, "is that human progress is simply a long march from one inconceivable to another. Look at that airship of ours that came over Porth yesterday: ten years ago that would have been an inconceivable sight. Take the steam engine, stake printing, take the theory of gravitation: they were all inconceivable till somebody thought of them. So it is, no doubt, with this infernal dodgery that we're talking about: the Huns have found it out, and we haven't; and there you are. We can't conceive how these poor people have been murdered, because the method's inconceivable to us." The club listened with some awe to this high argument. After Remnant had gone, one member said: "Wonderful man, that." "Yes," said Dr. Lewis. "He was asked whether he knew something. And his reply really amounted to 'No, I don't,' But I have never heard it better put.”
Arthur Machen, The Terror
