RE: The Battle of Bloodneck Valley - Finish The Story Contest, Week #30
What a vision, of hellish nightmare on earth. It is like a Bosch painting. You did not shrink from the abyss to which your imagination took you. This is really quite brave and expressive. Both dark poetry and philosophy. A kind of Armageddon, brought about by hate, violence and avarice.
I know nothing about the lore of H. P. Lovecraft, but this piece stands on its own. Quite skillfully executed.
Thanks so much @agmoore! I appreciate your feedback and I'm honored by the Bosch comparison! That made my day! Thank you! :D
If you're ever curious to check out HP Lovecraft, his collected works are available for free here. His style is a bit archaic, and unfortunately his racism shows through in places, but the lore itself is wonderful, pulpy, fantastical stuff dealing with dreams, archaeology, lost civilizations, mad science, insanity, things that go bump in the night, and monstrous cosmic entities of unimaginable power. Great Halloween fare! :D Thanks again!
Thank you for that reference. Lovecraft seems to have an influence on several of the writers here.
I love Hyeronimus Bosch!
Yeah!
Likewise! :)
Disturbing at the right point 😂
