-So the basics are these. Beings from other places than our world have come to our world. It appears likely that they've been coming over for all of humanity's history, and perhaps longer (who can say?), but that it appears that their influence was limited in the past. The problem with these beings from these other places is that many or all of them seem to have the quality that they feed on emotion, and not on the happy ones.+So the basics are these.

 As of some point in the twentieth century, probably the latter half, that changed.

 Peopled by a generally tall and slim race of beings (therefore referred to as "The Tall Ones"), the dimension of the Black Chamber is small and odd, repeating back upon itself after only what appears to be about a Kilometer or so. In it's "center" is a lake, in which is a vaulted edifice whose Tall One inhabitants refer to as The Black Chamber. These beings have some sort of odd social structure, and seem to be obsessed in many different ways with flesh.  Peopled by a generally tall and slim race of beings (therefore referred to as "The Tall Ones"), the dimension of the Black Chamber is small and odd, repeating back upon itself after only what appears to be about a Kilometer or so.
