quessing this is your favorite Lovecraft quote?...it is a damn good one (i think it was fervently used in the intro to a movie i saw on Netflix) but idk if I'd say its my favorite. its a bit overused....like he actually has quite a few more really great intelligent quotes from real life as well as phenomenal quotes from passages of his actual work. what's your favorite HP Lovecraft story? or top 3 of u can't pick just 1! ;) i know how hard that can be.

This really transfers the feeling of a Lovecraft story How things are built up at a medium pace while still leaving you with that feeling of inmersion and suspense and then it strikes with trumpets and abismal flutes while the desesperation runs through your senses and then calms down leaving you with a empty feeling I'm writting my own Scifi Cosmic Horror Novel And i can't count the amount of times that the music fit so smoothly in the feeling of what i was writting It really helped me a lot I even planned on adding images of poor drawings of the creatures or the worlds that the protagonist has to face to give more inmersion in the story Amazing job This goes to my playlist of music for writting

Lovecraft is one of my favorite writers and I am astonished by how you managed to transcribe the eerie atmosphere of his books in your music. Great job! If there ever be movie adaptation of some novel, they should really consider your music as OST.

When i realised that i am in a dream i spiked the bibles with some scissors and then i heard my dad's voice calling me then I woke up and this music was playing from my speakers at quite high volume. 10/10 creepy adventure can recommend
