QOTD
'The face beside me was twisted almost unrecognisably for a moment, while through the whole body there passed a shivering motion -- as if all the bones, organs, muscles, nerves, and glands were readjusting themselves to a radically different posture, set of stresses, and general personality.
'Just where the supreme horror lay, I could not for my life tell; yet there swept over me such a swamping wave of sickness and repulsion -- such a freezing, petrifying sense of utter alienage and abnormality -- that my grasp of the wheel grew feeble and uncertain. The figure beside me seemed less like a lifelong friend than like some monstrous intrusion from outer space -- some damnable, utterly accursed focus of unknown and malign cosmic forces.'
-- H.P. Lovecraft, "The Thing on the Doorstep"
