    <body><![CDATA[Having just re-read this book as part of the goodreads HPL reading group, I feel I can revise my original review. The book was apparently not one of Lovecraft's favorites among his own work, and it was never published in his lifetime. It is the longest piece he ever wrote, and in various ways it ref...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44060784">more...</a>]]></body>

To many, the human unconscious mind was still scary, dark, uncharted waters...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15351424">more...</a>]]></body>
