n nProfessor Vellitt Boe teaches at the prestigious Ulthar Womens College. When one of her most gifted students elopes with a dreamer from the waking world, Vellitt must retrieve her.n nKij Johnsons haunting novella The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe is both a commentary on a classic H.P. Lovecraft tale and a profound reflection on a womans life. Vellitts 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 Lovecrafts 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 Vellitts quest. A remarkable accomplishment that repays rereading. ―Pamela Sargent, winner of the Nebula Awardn
