Review

This reminds me of the ending of the House on the Borderland. It is very dreamlike and cosmic. Seems to be much like Lovecraft’s Dream Cycle stories, so maybe some influence from Dunsany? Pretty well done and interesting. Very short, so worth the time to read it. But the title suggested something more horrifying to me before I read this.
