FUNGUS VAMPIRE
"Out of the fungous-ridden earth steamed up a vaporous corpse-light, yellow and diseased, which bubbled and lapped to a gigantic height in vague outlines half human and half monstrous, through which I could see the chimney and fireplace beyond. It was all eyes - wolfish and mocking - and the rugose insect-like head dissolved at the top to a thin stream of mist which curled putridly about and finally vanished up the chimney."

ReplyDeleteAnton-Thanks so much man!
ReplyDeleteWyrm-actually, I redrew this one completely because I wasn't happy with the way the first attempt came out. I'll be posting before and afters on my website.
It required pouring acid on its ELBOW to get rid of this -thing- from the house so it could be inhabited. It was particularly deadly to newborn babies.
