Totally going to sound like an angsty teen here, but music is my primary inspiration. For me, it comes number #1 even after a writer like Lovecraft. Nothing has ever put me in a writing mindset as heavily and quickly as music can. When it serves as an accomplice to your writing itself, I find it's one of the greatest things there is.

Here's something cool to try out: lock yourself up in a dark room, light some candles, and listen to some seriously fucked up shit (bands like Khanate, Abruptum, and most other drone bands are a good place to start). If you're anything like me, you'll find yourself writing scarier than you ever thought you could.
