Welcome once again to our investigation into the world of Dream as defined by our favourite horror writer, H.P. Lovecraft. In this thread we will be discussing the reading assignment for the past week: Ex Oblivione and The Nameless City.

Our reading assignment for this week is two more short stories: The Quest of Iranon and The Other Gods.

The Quest of Iranon is another of Lovecraft’s tales explicitly inspired by Lord Dunsany. The story, written in February 1921, is available in PDF format via the Arkham Archivist here. Unfortunately, LibriVox does not have an audio version of this story available, thus our audio recording for this week is via the YouTuber HorrorBabble. The video, filtered through Piped (a privacy friendly alternative YouTube Frontend) is available here

The Other Gods is also heavily inspired by Dunsany’s Work. Written in August 1921, the text of the story is available via the same link above, and a LibriVox recording is available here
