The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath by H.P. Lovecraft
2.0
This review is only for the first story in this collection, The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath.
I read this after reading The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe, which was written in homage/response to The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath. Perhaps I would have liked it more if I had read them in the reverse order - after reading the smart, modern, well-characterized, socially-thoughtful Vellitt Boe, the flatness and monotony and self-centeredness of Unknown Kadath was tough to slog through. It's classic Lovecraftian writing, and a product of its time.
