The son of Randolph Carter returns to H.P. Lovecraft's' Dreamlands to stop the evil Azathoth and Nyarlathotep from destroying all realities! His unlikely allies include Twilight Smith, a Dreamlands outlaw who is really an elfin princess; Saira Starlight, a beautiful Dreamlands witch; Jones, a magical sword transformed into a human soldier against the evil Ancient Ones, and a Dreamlands Dozen of magical cats, Zoogs, Night Gaunts, ghouls, Deep Ones, Dagon, White Ship, Arkham Witch House and more. Even Alice and the Wonderland gang join the fight, which ranges from Earth to the frightening Mayan Underworld and deep into the most magical depths of the Dream worlds! This version of the Dreamlands, while faithful, loyal, and admiring of H.P. Lovecraft; contains more Stephen King like visceral and cosmic horror, more real combat, a good dash of modern surrealistic and absurdist humor, more plain old dream craziness and a nice amount of silken erotica even HPL might have enjoyed! It is after all, the Dreamlands! And those magic lands belong to us all!
I really enjoyed this book, which twists and turns like a happy snake on steroids! Horror, real fantasy, nice pleasant sex, true weirdness, and a page turning style come together and work out fine. This is a homage to H.P. Lovecraft, both his "Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath" and also his Cthulhu Mythos works. Wild, deep, fun...and escapist fantasy at its escapiest!
