The
Dream Cycle of Randolph Carter is a web series that takes place five years
after H.P. Lovecraft's "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath".
The
series follows weird fiction writer Randolph Carter, who has forgotten the
lessons learned from his adventures and now continues his work as an unpopular
author. His only profitable series is the Kadath Cycle, a series of books
documenting his time in the Dreamlands and sold as fiction.
Disinterested in the world around him and unable to return to the
Dreamlands, Carter finds himself willingly falling into trouble after
discovering a strange cult and possibly a grand, cosmic conspiracy. Seeking
meaning in life, Carter attempts to solve this mystery with the help of his
publicist Laura and old friends Joel Manton and Harley Warren.
The series takes place in the modern day and explores various themes, including nihilism, living as an artist, and the deceptive power of nostalgia. By expanding on these ideas and applying them to a mix of loyal Lovecraft adaptations and original stories, Dream Cycle will provide entertainment specifically for those with an interest in Lovecraft, his contemporaries, and the weird fiction genre.
Amongst the stories being adapted are "The Statement of Randolph
Carter", "The Terrible Old Man", "The Rats in the
Walls", and a mystery two-part adaptation of one of Lovecraft's most
famous stories. Beyond season one, there is hope to explore both famous
Lovecraft stories ("The Shadow Over Innsmouth") and more obscure
works ("The Temple"). If the series reaches its intended three season
length, it will culminate in "The Silver Key".
