BLATANT PLUG ALERT 2
Just added 4 more designs to the store. This quartet of woodcuts are from the long lost John Dee translation of the Necronomicion, and scholars believe they were created by an ancestor of the notorious Boston artist Richard Upton Pickman...
Night-Gaunts
NIGHT-GAUNTS
by H. P. Lovecraft
Out of what crypt they crawl, I cannot tell,
But every night I see the rubbery things,
Black, horned, and slender, with membraneous wings,
And tails that bear the bifid barb of hell.
They come in legions on the north wind's swell,
With obscene clutch that titillates and stings,
Snatching me off on monstrous voyagings
To grey worlds hidden deep in nightmare's well.
Over the jagged peaks of Thok they sweep,
Heedless of all the cries I try to make,
And down the nether pits to that foul lake
Where the puffed shoggoths splash in doubtful sleep.
But oh! If only they would make some sound,
Or wear a face where faces should be found!
