Doing some light reading on his life, it almost comes across as though he himself didn't want to dwell on some of the more grotesque and frightening depictions of the creatures he created because of his own history of nervousness and mental illness. I think he's a great, and unfortunate, example of an extremely unhealthy Enneagram 5. Per his own words in 1908, he - "could hardly bear to see or speak to anyone, & liked to shut out the world by pulling down dark shades & using artificial light." I can relate to this as well, on account of the fact that I have blackout curtains and only in the past few months have I started opening them up during the day time. Before then, and for the past five years, they'd served to keep my room completely blocked off from the outside world. Although I never have had trouble speaking to others, as long as they weren't disturbing my private space unexpectedly or interrupting my work.
