Hello Everyone and welcome back to the Dream Cycle Book Club! In this thread we will be discussing the reading assignment for the past week: Celephaïs and Nyarlathotep.
For this week we have two more short stories to read: Ex Oblivione and The Nameless City.
I can’t find much information on when Ex Oblivione was written, though considering it’s publication in the March 1921 edition of The United Amateur, it has been given a writing date in the range of late 1920 to early 1921. It can be found via the Arkham Archivist’s trusty PDF here and in audiobook format here.
The second story for this week, The Nameless City was written in January 1921. Though it is only tangentially related to the Dreamlands, it is fantastic Mythos reading. It can be read in PDF format via the same link above, and can be found as an audiobook here
On a side note: it’s great to see that the community is becoming active.
I need to get caught up on the book club. I sputtered out after week one because of some work commitments and travel. I certainly hope that others in the community will switch from lurk mode to active participants. I sincerely appreciate your time and effort to put these readings together and hopefully in the next week or two I can find the time to get caught up.
Be seeing you!
Thanks for the kind message. Whenever you find the time and you want to discuss any portion of the reading, I’d be happy to jump into the relevant thread and talk about it.
I’m glad to see that the community has grown from the two of us and that we’re seeing more content posted. I make sure to namedrop the community in lit related discussions.
