Lovecraft reviews chocolates

I love H. P. Lovecraft's diction, and the parody "Selections from H. P. Lovecraft's Brief Tenure as a Whitman's Sampler Copywriter" (from McSweeney's) combines that love with my love of chocolate.

Dark Chocolate Fudge

Dark! All-encompassing, eternal darkness! Human eyes cannot penetrate the stygian blackness of this unholy confection!

This post's theme word: waugh, "tasteless; insipid; unpleasant to smell or taste; sickly, faint, weak, etc."
