I'm currently demolishing this
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

I'm sure his school days were the best of his life. Great author though. Dark and warped

The His Dark materials books are great too. One of the greatest, saddest and darkest endings I have ever read in any book, let alone a (supposed) children's book. I think the only other ending that made me cry quite that much was The Grapes of Wrath.
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

As a young man I would have been enthralled by the mission this young woman set for herself and the strong support of her friends as they helped her to realize her goal. Recommended for young wankers of all ages.
I was in middle school at the time, so I didn't stick around for the second show in that weird-ass double feature. That being the case, I'm not sure I can second your recommendation.
$79.95-- now that's some real devotion to filth.
And before you say it, I resemble that remark.
