Blasphemous flutes
Oct. 5th, 2005 01:37 pmFrom a message board discussing favorite Lovecraft stories:
"My favorite is the one where the guy is driven insane by an incomprehensible horror."
I just finished reading The Dream Cycle of H.P. Lovecraft: Dreams of Terror and Death -- a collection published by Del Rey Books, with an introduction by Neil Gaiman. I picked it up a couple of years ago because the blurbs talked about Dunsany's influence on Lovecraft, which caused a lightbulb to go off in my head. The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath has always been my favorite story by Lovecraft, but I read it before I read Dunsany and never put two and two together.
( Where 2 + 2 = the unreverberate blackness of the abyss )
