我记得是在《读者文摘》的选集《Great Short Tales of Mystery and Terror》里读到这个的。书里其他的经典还有《The Rats in the Walls》、《The Hands of Mr Ottermole》、《An Invitation to the Hunt》、《The Damned Thing》、《The Wendigo》等等很多。
I remember reading this in the Reader's Digest anthology Great Short Tales of Mystery and Terror. Other classics in the book were The Rats in the Walls, The Hands of Mr Ottermole, An Invitation to the Hunt, The Damned Thing, and The Wendigo, among many others.

真有意思！有点让我想起 H. P. Lovecraft 的《墙中之鼠》（The Rats in the Walls）的结尾：主角是一个做过大恶的古老家族的后人，发疯后，每说一句话，英文就退化到更古老的版本。
Really interesting! Somewhat reminds me of the ending of H. P. Lovecraft's "The Rats in the Walls", where the main character, a scion of a very old family which has done some really bad things, goes mad and progressively starts speaking in older and older versions of English after every sentence.
是啊，我看到图表里出现了“nigger”这个词，就去查了查。在《墙中之鼠》（The Rats in the Walls）里，作者养了只叫“Nigger-man”的猫，不过那是个专有名词，所以我就把它删了（我把所有专有名词都删了）。另外，我觉得你说的 adjectivitis（形容词泛滥综合征）简直一针见血，正好解释了我为什么不喜欢……
Yeah, I saw the word "nigger" show up in the diagram, so I went and had a look. In "The Rats in the Walls" the author has a cat called "Nigger-man", but that was a proper name so I removed it (I removed all proper names). Also, I think you're spot on with adjectivitis. It explains exactly what I don't like…
……睡得着觉（/s）。Lovecraftian horror（洛夫克拉夫特式恐怖）并不是大多数人想到恐怖时脑海里浮现的那种东西。它更加关乎存在主义。Sebastian Orr 的朗读非常棒：http://www.ourfaircity.com/2011/12/the-rats-in-the-walls-pt-... http://www.ourfaircity.com/2012/01/part-two/ 受到洛夫克拉夫特启发的 Charlie Stross 的《A Colder War》也是我心头好。
