“We are in the dark places of the earth," said Madman. "Where all the ancient and most dangerous secrets are kept. There are Old Things down here, sleeping all around us, in the earth and in the living rock, and in the spaces between spaces. Keep your voices down.

And that devil that once maliciously exulted in death, now that its pains were loosed, remained the only one truly dead.”
