Is it truly unspeakable horrors or is it lazy writing that just lets the mind of the reader do the imagining of unspeakable horrors for you? (lemmy.world)

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.
