In a paragraph:

And in the shadows there was a stirring. Air slipped and stuttered, writhing into the dark form he knew had long awaited his arrival. Heat stang his eyes. Where was the door? Entrances and exits filled his mind, submerging rational thought into a haze of abstraction. The motes whispered to him, called to him, gently teased him as smoke carressed his fingertips, drawing the boy into the depths of the lost cellar.

Nope, sorry, that was just pulp horror.
