            I was thinking of Lovecraft, since I thought there was some mention of
            Chtulhu (and I think that was from a story by Lovecraft) but in fact
            any good writer can be used to learn creating atmosphere in few words.

            But it is that control that makes those descriptions so effective in
            creating a specific mood. If you use the same techniques the players
            must give up some of their control over their own characters. Still, a
            lot of things can be achieved with the use of props.
            My personal advise would be is to use objects and descriptive props a
            player automatically connects with the mood you are trying to invoke.
            E.g. things like fog, soft ticking, scraping or wet sounds in the dark
            and torches are readily associated with horror and can be quite effec-
            tive to create a dark atmosphere (even if they are cliches)
            
            > You can create atmospheric descriptions without doing that, or by doing it
            > very subtly -- it's harder that way, but IMHO, it's a better way to go.
            
            I entirely agree. The best way is to invoke the fantasy of the player.
            It is eventually what writers do as well, though they have better con-
            trol over story and the emotions that it shares between characters and
            readers. I also think there is no hard rule against using phrases like
            'You are getting nervous'. It may not always be appropriate but it is
            a very direct way to invoke an emotion. If you could get away with a
            first person perspective on a mud that would work even better.
