THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE

THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE
"'It must be somethin’ from away off in the sky like the men from the college last year says the meteor stone was. The way it’s made an’ the way it works ain’t like no way o’ God’s world. It’s some’at from beyond.'"

"It was a scene from a vision of Fuseli, and over all the rest reigned that riot of luminous amorphousness, that alien and undimensioned rainbow of cryptic poison from the well—seething, feeling, lapping, reaching, scintillating, straining, and malignly bubbling in its cosmic and unrecognisable chromaticism."
H.P. Lovecraft, The Colour Out Of Space

  2. Awesome use of color and lines. I never thought to imagine it as flame-like before I saw this.

  4. There was just no way to describe this -entity. Cold & wet, sucks & burns. It ate everything that it access to since the meteorite landed, and only those that had just arrived on that last day, either escaped -or in the case of a horse scared to death- died naturally.
