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

3.0

As shorthand-reviewed on Twitter:

THE DREAMS IN THE WITCH HOUSE: crones with disgusting familiars, insanity-inducing geometry, a gory ending: this story has all my faves!
Bonus Round: how many times can Lovecraft use the n-word without this short story actually featuring any PoC? Three times. Fucking wanker.

T. STATEMENT OF RANDOLPH CARTER: Randy and his buddy Harley dig open a swamp tomb and release a miasma of misery upon themselves in 7 pages.

T. DREAM QUEST OF UNKNOWN KADATH: Randy's back for an Odyssean traipse through the dreamlands. Pretty, but helter-skelter&easy to put down.
Bonus Round: No n-word sightings here, but enough Asiaphobic loathing toward "slant-eyed", untrustworthy merchants to make up for it!

T. SILVER KEY: Finally another good dream cycle short. Randy loses his ability to dream travel and enters a great, well written time loop.

BEYOND T. GATE OF T. SILVER KEY: oh my goD they've written an actual PoC in this! Amazing! Fantastiiit's an alien body swap with a mask on.
