lady chatterly's creeping horror

i have a suspended ceiling in my hack room. i left a couple of the tiles out because at least two of the cats like to wander around up there. it's like a special extra cat-sized floor to the house.

i was commented this morning on the cats in the ceiling, and how there are horror stories that start that way. and i suddenly blanked on the name "h. p. lovecraft". and i tried to remember his name and my brain helpfully provided the next closest thing it could come up with: "d. h. lawrence". (similar format of name, i started reading them both at the same age, etc)

the literary possibilites are astounding, really.
