i can understand how he's attempting to build terror but after the second time it started to seem like a cop out - as if the octopus/whatever just didnt sound scary enough -and he knew it - so better just describe the terror of the person who saw it VS the thing itself..

HA!!! I knew I couldn't be the only one that thought Lovecraft was using that 'undescribable horror' bit to avoid having to describe it in detail!
I always thought I was some kind of horror genre geretic for thinoing that, but no more! :D

The Top 4 Rules To Follow In Order To Survive The Zombie Apocalypse!!!
Rule 1: You don't have to be the fastest person when running from zombies, just faster then someone else.
Rule 2: If possible, keep a fat person with you at all times. Zombies prefer more meat.
Rule 3: Everyone else is expendable...unless they're the ones carrying the supplies.
Rule 4: When in doubt, shoot everyone. Chances are they were bound to be infected, anyway.
