Dark Art Quotes

“Dy5topia in the context of this book is a very real place, with very real “inhabitants'', but to understand Dy5topia you must first look closely at our world. Like the fisherman’s net that allows so much water to spill through, catching only the aquatic life, so too does Dy5topia collect only the fear of our world. Dy5topia is our dark reflection and a manifestation of our collective fears, and so its structure is created and maintained by our fear.”

“Chet Zar will be the first person to tell you that he does not know what Dy5topia is. He also does not know where it is, how it came to be, or why it exists. At first glance, this may seem like an odd introduction to a field guide, yet perhaps it is the most apropos. This is exactly where Chet and I began, and so it seems fitting that you should also begin in the same place.”

“We can think of Dy5topian inhabitants as 'negative thought-form creations', but we must remember that while they are created and sustained by our fear, this does not make them immaterial. These 'beings' have substance and mass. They display relatively consistent physical characteristics and engage in consistent behavior patterns.”

“There is another important element pertinent to understanding this book, and that is a place within Dy5topia called 'The Void'. While we can, in some ways, describe and categorize Dy5topia just as we would our world, The Void escapes any such efforts. Consequently, we can only describe the inhabitants of The Void in terms of their appearance in Dy5topia as 'Interlopers'.”

“Long ago, during the 'Kingdom Reign', the 'power' of Dy5topia lay in the hands of Royalty who employed 'death squads', deemed Undertakers, to 'keep the fear'. Now these Kingdoms have 'fallen' into ruin and their remnants are sprinkled throughout the known regions of Dy5topia.”

“The Haunting ensures the current state of Dy5topia―a nightmarish world where terrified 'Creeple' nervously travel through an ever-changing, phantasmagorical land filled with Mutants, Robots, unDead, Specters, Beasts, Landscape-lifeforms, and Others. With these things in mind, consider yourself cordially invited to enter the regions of Chet Zar’s Dark Universe!”

“Just as we do not fully understand the miraculous nature of our world―how life came to be, where we are going, and what the meaning is―similarly we cannot fully understand how our fear calls into existence the substance-based, negative thought-form creation of Dy5topia, or how it can exist without our seeing it more readily.”
― Mike Correll, DY5TOPIA: A Field Guide to the Dark Universe of Chet Zar

“Just as a door can be opened from the inside to allow us out, the same door can allow the outside in. The inhabitants of Dy5topia, namely the 'nOmen'―picture 1940’s style, film noir gangsters, that possess dark 'supernatural' powers―engage in behaviors that allow them 'passage' into our world...where encounters can and do occur.”
