I get a bit gloomy when it's gloomy.

I prefer the gloominess to the sun. I don't know why.

I think I'm less gloomy than I used to be - I've got a very supportive other half.

I think you know what you're up against when you take on a piece that you know is going to involve dragging up a lot emotions - you can end up being deeply immersed in gloom.

It is not fitting, when one is in God's service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look.

I like the contrast in making something that sounds sunny but also has an element of melancholy to it.

Atmosphere, not action, is the great desideratum of weird fiction. Indeed, all that a wonder story can ever be is a vivid picture of a certain type of human mood.

I don't want to paint a picture of total gloom and doom.

The human mind can bear plenty of reality but not too much intermittent gloom.

So I, for one, didn't feel alienated by what happened in 77.
