Angels and Demons

Just came across this beautiful picture of a naked woman tying her arms around a statue of Satan while being possessed by the darkness at her feet. Somehow wonderfully captures the moment of the loss of innocence without saying too much. Got the image off of this website, where some folks at Cornell University have compiled a whole bunch of images of the Fantastic in Literature, with a view to educate.

Have found myself lately getting more into horror fiction as well - H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe mostly, and some random short stories from magazines with titles like Tales of the Weird. So this is right up that alley.
