About this listen
The third novel in the acclaimed cult-favorite series starring necromancer Johannes Cabal.
Johannes Cabal and his rather inexact powers of necromancy are back once more. This time, his talents are purchased by the Fear Institute as they hunt for the phobic animus - the embodiment of fear. The three institute members, led by Cabal and his silver key, enter the Dreamlands and find themselves pursued by walking trees plagued with giant ticks, stone men that patrol the ruins of their castles, cats that feed on human flesh, and phobias that torment and devastate. The intrepid explorers are killed off one by one as they traipse through this obfuscating and frustrating world, where history itself appears to alter. Cabal, annoyed that the quest is becoming increasingly heroic, finds himself alone with the institute's only remaining survivor, and after a shockingly violent experiment, begins to suspect that not everything is quite as it seems.

Too funny
If you love HP Lovecraft and Douglas Adams you will adore Johanas Cabal’s own Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath. The descriptive writing is unmissabley Adamsesque and the story is pure Lovcraftian, with a twist. Absolutely delightful!

Terrific story.
A real anti hero you can get behind, even knowing he is an absolute swine, with occasional redeeming behaviours, and a habitually brilliant adventurer. Too clever by half and knowing it. The story is deep, and criss crossing, folded and complex, but the plot carries you effortlessly along with it. The writing is excellent and lots of fun, the reference to supernatural mythos and the thick helping of Lovecraftian lore has its tongue firmly in its cheek - as does the whole story, but is flawlessly done, and simultaneously chilling very funny and touching at times. Great piece of work. I look forward to the next book - and am curious to see if I have guessed the identity of the mysterious character appearing at the end of this story. Well worth it and the narration was just perfectly pitched, excellent job.

Kept getting lost!
Found the story hard to follow, lots of jumping about and if I lost concentration for a few seconds he was in a completely different place and I had no idea how he got there! The narrator has a nice voice but so many words were pronounced wrong it was driving me nuts, especially "prehaps" instead of perhaps, "follongs" (phalanges?) and tiara rhyming with Sierra. Made me realise just how often the word perhaps is used in this book. I think this is one I have to read rather than listen to, to have any idea what's going on.
