black mass

His more polemical books, such as Black Mass and Straw Dogs, often posit a worldview bleak enough to make Beckett blanch.

One could make out but little of detail; but he could note that a black mass was piling itself up beyond the second fence.

There was enough star-gleam to show the black mass of stone, like a crouching monster gathering to spring upon him.

Tonight was Black Mass, and his attendance there was definitely required.

After what he had been through, the Black Mass was necessarily an anticlimax.

The result, seen in the dark, was a formless black mass, very doughy and fatty; but with oases of palatable matter.
