I think Lovecraft was pretty decent at describing the horrors in his books. It was more like "they saw something that the human mind was unable to process" or stuff like that.
Great meme though :)
Yeah that's what I thought too. The horrors are described well, they just typically don't get described through their physical form. As you say, because the human mind cannot comprehend it. There is a lot more focus on impressions, comparisons, and effects, rather than on a real physical description. Personally I thought it was quite neat!
Yeah, its more about how it twists the human mind and the reaction of those involved or influenced.
