 This was an unpublished and unfinished novel and it is still better than most fantasy you will read. It's about Randolph Carter, who puts himself to sleep so he can enter the dreamlands where he intends to stay. This is pure original fantasy. Zero political allegory. Zero Christian bullshit. And if that doesn't get you to read it, I have three words for you. Army of cats. Oh yeah, army of cats. Okay, I have to add something extra here. This book contains references to everything that HP Lovecraft wrote before. Every character, every place, every creature, everything. All of it references material that HP Lovecraft wrote before. So before you dive into this book, you really should familiarize yourself with Lovecraft's previous work. And the best way to do that is to listen to the HP Lovecraft literary podcast at hppodcraft.com. They just published episode number 116, but I recommend you go all the way back and start with episode one. I've been listening for the last three years since near the beginning, and I can't recommend it any higher. You'll read some really great stories. You'll read some bad stories, you'll learn a lot, and you'll have fun. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll kiss 100 hours goodbye.
