Hundreds Of Dead Bodies #13 - The Other Side of the Underneath

"More than ever, some sort of new arrangement seems in order, some dramatic and unknown arrangement – anything to find release from this heartbreaking sadness I suffer every minute of the day (and night), this killing sadness that feels as if it will never leave me no matter where I go or what I do or whom I may ever know" - Thomas Ligotti

Hundreds Of Dead Bodies #12 - A Page of Madness

"It is the custom for the barber to shave the deceased, to powder him, whiten his face and rouge his cheeks and lips, and dress him in a frock coat with patent leather shoes and black trousers, as if going to a ball, may God forbid—this shall not happen to Makso." —Testament of Hatji Makso Despic, drawn up in Sarajevo, 29 March 1921

Hundreds of Dead Bodies #8 - Tesis

"This guy's really my favourite kind of victim. Buried in his books, weighed down by cds and videocassettes. It's vile. Loves all the sick writers, accursed artists, degenerate whores. Likes his decadence arranged in alphabetical order. A good spectator, in good health. Knows how to apprecaite the genius of others, from afar, you know. And of course with moderation. Sleeps well, conscience always clear. What we did at his place was a moral duty. " - Virginie Despentes, Baise-Moi

Hundreds of Dead Bodies #7 - Cold Light Of Day

“Love: a hybrid emotion made up of various other emotions collaged by some weak individual's mind to try to quell a particular horror that's not been wiped out by more standardized symbols like Christ, etc. Nietzsche, right? Whatever.” ― Dennis Cooper

Hundreds Of Dead Bodies #6 - Rampage

There are very definite aspects to our culture pattern which give psychopaths encouragement. In America we put great value on the acquisition of material gain, prestige, power, personal ascendance, and the competitive massing of goods. —William Krasner, The Psychopath in Our Society, Neurotica II, 1948 Thursday
