I&#x27;ve always been disappointed in the lack of recognition Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath gets. Several years ago, I read all of Lovecraft&#x27;s works in a stretch, and while I enjoyed them all, Dream Quest really stood about. By the end my heart was racing and I was reading as fast as I could to find out what happened next. It&#x27;s <i>very</i> rare for me to have any reaction to a story beyond the pleasure of reading or the appreciation of good prose.<p>But Dream Quest is consistently absent from lists of favorites or of Lovecraft&#x27;s best writings. Maybe I just have bad taste. :) To be fair, it is a little different in theme than Lovecraft&#x27;s later writings: less scientific horror and more fantastical horror.
