the rats in the walls

Stuck on what to wear when trapped in a Lovecraft-ian nightmare? How to look your best when you suspect you might be “cursed of God”?

Inheriting an ancient building only to find that we got way more than we bargained for in the way of underground cannibalistic civilizations is pretty much a universal fear! Am I right? Who hasn’t found themselves overcome by madness and ultimately committing some sort of atrocity against mankind under those circumstances? H.P. and these style makers know what I’m talking about. Whether you find yourself a part of some sort of murderous cult or simply pursued by one; whether you’re consumed by madness or simply want to look your best on the way out, I’m here to help!
