I've read a lot of H.P. Lovecraft over the years, and recently have been reading a collection of stories inspired by him in the book Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos. One of our testers was showing me the results of some random text generation he was doing, when I commented that it looked like something from a Lovecraft story. He responded with a link to a story that had me in literal tears of laughter within moments.

The Thing in the Crib

OK, OK ... I admit that you probably have to be a hardcore Lovecraft fan to appreciate it. If you aren't, I assure you -- it is a work of perfection. Go ahead - read, say, ten Lovecraft stories, and then go back to The Thing in the Crib. You'll see why I was cry-laughing (unless of course you couldn't get past the first Lovecraft story).
