Poe: this maelstrom was just indescribably big and indescribably scary
Poe: i can't even describe the emotion i felt when i saw it
Lovecraft: now that's the way you do it!

Barker: have you been taking lessons from howard?
Poe: well, howard's right
Poe: sometimes things are scarier if you withhold information from the reader
Barker: like the fact that the guy survived?

I can clearly see Poe's expression at this point.

I...uh...hmm. How am I agreeing with Poe and Lovecraft over Barker here???

But I too like things that are indescribably creepy and absolutely do not need to be worried about whether the protagonist survives to be invested in a story!

Barker: like that fact?
Poe:
Barker: sorry i don't think i heard you, could you say that again?

Lovecraft: hey edgar knows that i'm right!
Lovecraft: sometimes something is SO SCARY that you just can't describe it
King: well, i don't know about that
King: i think if i had to imagine the scariest thing, i could describe it
King: it would probably look like a clown
