Review: "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" by H. P. Lovecraft

This is the last and longest of Lovecraft's three novellas. It's also his excuse to write a fantasy story.

Of course, being Lovecraft, it's a very dark fantasy story. A follow-up of sorts to his "Pickman's Model", the scariest thing ii've ever read, it stars Randolph Carter, and while the plot is lacking, this novella features some of Lovecraft's best writing.

H. P. Lovecraft was a great writer, but it's unfortunate that his worldview was so often that of his stories.
