лавкрафт

The only horror,” Wilson writes, “is the horror of bad taste and bad art.”

и много чего еще в The Hideous Unknown of H.P. Lovecraft

эссе замечательное, хоть цитируй все подряд:
Lovecraft supplies the reader with hundreds of characteristic sentences in which the monstrosity is first located and then verbally barricaded as if it were a sacred object. For example: “The effect was subtly menacing in a way I can never hope to depict,” or “The cry, however, had possessed a quality which no mere writing could convey.”
