About the Creator

Kristen Balyeat

Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night—I’m humbly one of the vessels they use to come to life.

Also, i love you:)

What is Lovecraft Horror?
Lovecraft horror was first brought to life by H.P. Lovecraft, an iconic horror writer that was responsible for giving the world a new vision of horror. Lovecraft horror is mostly seen as cosmic horror, or the fear of the unknown. This kind of horror focuses on mankind going insane upon witnessing the most messed up horror imaginable, either consisting of monsters or other worlds that the human race does not belong.
