Hey /lit/, I'm not from around these parts, but i was wondering if anyone of you have come across a writing style similar to quotes like theses:
>Mastery over life and death was chief among my early pursuits. I began in humility, but my ambition was limitless. Who could have divined the prophetic import of something as unremarkable as a twitch in the leg of dead rat?
>The ways and rituals of blood sacrifice are difficult to master. Those from beyond require a physical vessel if they are to make the crossing into our reality. The timing of the chants is imperative - without the proper utterances at precise intervals, the process can fail spectacularly.
>Prodigious size alone does not dissuade the sharpened blade
Thanks in advance

WTF?
May read some Carlos Castaneda
I dunno if the OP is a troll or not, but Darkest Dungeon is completely based on Lovecraftian horror. The narrator of the game is even Wayne June, a beloved Lovecraft audiobook narrator.
Not only Lovecraft but much of his gigantic following (the group surrounding August Derleth) writes in that style. Often exactly in that style, i.e., the kind of stuffy Boston erudit who peruses eldritch lore and stumbles on sp00ky things.

I'm going to assume you come from /v/ so the ultimate in neckbeard fiction you are looking for is some Lovecraft. Buy a 'complete' collection of his stories
