When one of her most gifted students elopes with a dreamer from the waking world, Vellitt must retrieve her. \u003cbr\u003ed\"Kij Johnson's haunting novella \u003ci\u003eThe Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe\u003c\/i\u003e is both a commentary on a classic H.P. 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","brand":"Tordotcom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48694889545945,"sku":"9780765391414","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/3121\/5065\/files\/9780765391414.jpg?v=1778565276","url":"https:\/\/www.blacknectarbooks.com\/products\/the-dream-quest-of-vellitt-boe-paperback","provider":"blacknectar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
