Description

"The madness and monstrosity lay in the figures in the foreground- for Pickman's morbid art was pre-eminently one of demoniac portraiture. These figures were seldom completely human, but often approached humanity in varying degree. Most of the bodies, while roughly bipedal, had a forward slumping, and a vaguely canine cast. The texture of the majority was a kind of unpleasant rubberiness."

- H.P. Lovecraft, Pickman's Model

Under the right comditions a ghoul will grow up as a human- but, I fear, will never be a credit to the community.
