“All the evil in the universe was concentrated in their lean, hungry bodies. Or had they bodies? I saw them only for a moment; I cannot be certain. But I heard them breathe.”
Frank Belknap Long, The 8th Golden Age of Weird Fiction Megapack: Frank Belknap Long, Vol. 1

“It is beyond dispute that Osiris made his worshipers dream strange things of him, and that he possessed their bodies and souls forever. There is a devilish wrath against mankind with which Osiris was for Death's sake inspired. In the cool of the evening he walked among men, and upon his head was the Crown of Upper Egypt, and his cheeks were inflated with a wind that slew. His face was veiled so that no man could see it, hut assuredly it was an old face, very old and dead and dry for the world was young when tall Osiris died.

("A Visitor From Egypt")”
Frank Belknap Long, The Mummy Walks Among Us

“There are blasphemies of creation that can not be described, and the thing which rose up to claim the escaping fragments of its dismantled prey was of that order.”
Frank Belknap Long, The 8th Golden Age of Weird Fiction Megapack: Frank Belknap Long, Vol. 1
