"There can be no belief where there is no doubt. There cannot be something where there is no nothing. This is far from secret knowledge, as if such knowledge could change anything. This is only how it seems, and seeming is everything."

Thomas Ligotti - "The Mystics of Muelenburg"​

G. S. Carnivals has quoted the conclusion of the version of "The Mystics of Muelenburg" which survives in Grimscribe, The Nightmare Factory, and The Shadow at the Bottom of the World. The story first appeared in Crypt of Cthulhu #51 in 1987. The story's original version reads:

"But Klingman has disappeared, perhaps into that same blackness for which he seemed to have an incredible nostalgia. (The warehouse, which I revisited in the red dawn following that gruesomely protracted night, was untenanted save by its spare furnishings and a few empty bottles.) And I, of course, am not to be believed."
