About The dream-quest of unknown Kadath

In The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath voert Lovecraft zijn alter ego Randolph Carter ten tonele. Carter gaat op zoek naar 'die wonderbaarlijke stad in de ondergaande zon', een oord dat streng bewaakt wordt door de Opperste Goden, om nog maar niet te spreken van de tomeloze demonensultan Azathoth en de kruipende chaos Nyarlathotep.
