I knew myself to be on the threshold of a new order of experience—of an ecstasy. Something drew me forth with a sense of inexpressible yearning towards the being of this strange old man in the window seat, and for a moment I knew what it was to taste a mighty and wonderful sensation, and to touch the highest pinnacle of joy I have ever known.

The Empty House and Other Ghost Stories

Yes, I have been reading "The King in Yellow" by Robert W. Chambers. Recommended for anyone who enjoys creepy shadow-ridden #horror or #Wierdtales.

Also of historical interest as an influence on #Lovecraft.

#TimeTravelAuthors 11. Time travel tropes you love.

As I have previously said, I haven’t read enough travel lit to have things I love. I have offered chances for people to explore the “kill Hitler trope,” but traveling to the prehistoric world won. Which is a trope with things like “Journey to the Center of the Earth,” and other lost realms lit. side-loading the situation.

Probably, cabal is a trope. All we know is that it exists, but not its nature or aims, and it would be a spoiler to reveal it now. (#UrbanFantasy trope.)

Anyone here who is reading along would be better at identifying the tropes I use. Feel free to respond and enlighten me.

PS: #Yuri tropes are in effect, but that is another subject. (#Slowburn and #DisasterLesbians.) And #Wierdtales (Tongue-in-cheek #EldritchHorrors.) tropes. As well as #PulpFiction tropes.
