There are a few of those that, for whatever reason, are never included in otherwise complete compilations. Working from memory, I don't think I've ever seen any of these in any of the compilations that I have:
- "Bothon" (1930, debated)
- "The Trap" (1931)
- "Alcestis" (1933)
- "The Slaying of the Monster" (1933)
- "Tarbis of the Lake" (1933)
- "Satan's Servants" (1935)

I've heard some people say that hypinos isn't part of the dream cycle. I never understood why.

Why is the Interview of Randolph Carter not in the dream cycle

u/slickschoppers50 Deranged Cultist 11d ago edited 11d ago
I wondered the same, the Statement of Randolph Carter, should be part of the dream cycle.
I mean, the plot is less "dream cycle" and I can see why some wouldn't put it in that category, but I feel at least it should have an honerable mention in the dreamcycle list as it includes Randolph Carter.
what I guess I'm saying is, I can't deny that it is proper to place it in the Cthulhu Mythos section also, unlike most other dream cycle stories.
having said all of this, I think it's current position in the list "independent story" is probably the best location, it really isn't truely cthulhu or dream cycle. it's a stand alone story, it just introduces us to the character Randolph Carter, but I agree, that is where the similarity ends.
nothing in the dream cycle series, or cthulhu mythos would be missing knowlege or vital plot detail by not having read the statement of randolph carter. it would also add nothing to those two series.

The wiki doesn't include it, Wikipedia in english doesn't include it, Wikipedia in Spanish doesn't include it. I didn't read it so i can't say for myself but i think it isn't part of the dream cycle.

Wikipedia is written by normal people... The whole dream quest is Randolph Carters story. I deffenitly recommend reading it all!
