There are a lot of elements in this work which will only really have meaning for someone who has at least a passing familiarity with Lovecraft's works. I found it to be more of a "and then this happened... and then this happened..." story, and less what I'd consider a story with a plot and a resolution (but I guess that description would apply to a lot of Lovecraft works).
In a review of Dreamland, James K. Nelson says "enough is resolved to satisfy the reader, but we never fully get our bearings on the forces at work. " I'm going to disagree with him on that; I didn't think that enough is revealed to be satisfying. I do think that Lovecraft fans will enjoy this, though.
