Lovecraft tale and a profound reflection on a woman's life. Vellitt's quest to find a former student who may be the only person who can save her community takes her through a world governed by a seemingly arbitrary dream logic in which she occasionally glimpses an underlying but mysterious order, a world ruled by capricious gods and populated by the creatures of dreams and nightmares. Those familiar with Lovecraft's work will travel through a fantasy landscape infused with Lovecraftian images viewed from another perspective, but even readers unfamiliar with his work will be enthralled by Vellitt's quest. A remarkable accomplishment that repays rereading.\" ―Pamela Sargent, winner of the Nebula Award\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Marissa's Books \u0026 Gifts, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":67809458225337,"sku":"ait1792457886647","price":9.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/9875\/6793\/files\/the-dream-quest-of-vellitt-boe_1.jpg?v=1792457890","url":"https:\/\/seatcovers.shop\/products\/the-dream-quest-of-vellitt-boe","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
