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

Unlike the previous short story in this book, which I read in one sitting, this one took me several days. Not only because of its length, 80 pages, but because I found it hard to read. But I persisted.

The story follows a man called Randolph Carter who goes on an epic journey to find Sunset city which he has seen in his dreams. He doesn't know how to get there so he needs to get to Kadath to ask the gods of earth for help. In his journey he goes to multiple places, like the cat city of Ulthar. Meets strange people and weird creatures. He is captured and released. He walks, climbs and flies on top of scary flying monsters. And he keeps going... In enjoyed the premise of the story but got tired of the too many mentions of name of cities, of creatures, of gods, of hideous people....

The highlight of this story for me was the presence of Crawling Chaos Nyarlathotep, and Azathot. Deities in the Cthulhu mythos. Outer gods, from outerspace.
