I'm gonna start reading The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath tonight. I haven't really been crazy about the Dream Cycle stories so far, but hopefully it turns out to be a pleasant surprise.

There just... aren't any words. Cthulhu, pie and puns? This may be the greatest thing ever.

As for The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath, I hadn't read it until last year, but I actually really got into it. It's a very different tone, but what with the various cat elements and the behavior of the ghouls, it almost reads like the internet.

Ha, saw that on Facebook earlier. Such an epic pie.

Finally finished The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath. That middle section is a nigh-unbearable slog, and seemingly every other paragraph includes the words "hippocephalic", "grotesque" or "supernal" -- and Nyarlathotep gives Bond villains a run for their money with arch monologuing. But the whole thing is wonderfully imaginative, with lots of great imagery, and you can't go wrong with a battle between night gaunts, moon-beasts and ghouls on a rocky spire in the middle of the ocean.

Yeah, some of the passages were long and devoid of commas -- kinda wonky to get through. Dream Quest was nice, though not specifically one pf my favourite works of his.

Also, Cats of Ulthar.

Yeah, Dream Quest could have used a little breathing room here and there. It sometimes reads like a "greatest hits" of his Dream Cycle stuff.
