The Silver Key — H.P. Lovecraft

A man searches for the line between past and present, truth and illusion, and sleep and waking, in this eerie story in H. P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle.

 


Randolph Carter has grown older, and lost the key to the gate of dreams. He yearns to return to the fantastical worlds of his childhood dreams, with their promises of wisdom and understanding that he could not access while he was awake.


 


Now Randolph lives in the so-called real world, but he wonders which dream realm truly represents reality. He intends to find out, and embarks on a journey that will take him to places both familiar and deeply strange . . .
