Henry Armitage: "A Shoggoth on the roof, Sounds crazy? No, certifiably insane! But here in our little village of Arkham, Massachusetts you might say every one of us has a shoggoth on the roof, And I'm not speaking metaphorically."
"It's easy having a malevolent, shapeless monster hanging over your head, but there it is. Arkham is the home of many strange things, A big monster like that on such a pointed roof, You may ask 'How does it stay up there, If it's so difficult?' That, I can tell you in one way: Tentacles!"
