When one of her most gifted students elopes with a dreamer from the waking world, Vellitt must retrieve her. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martins Press-3PL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47010843099376,"sku":"9780765391414","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780765391414_p0.jpg?v=1763658378","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780765391414","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
