    The third volume of the Titus Crow series is a story set entirely in the Dreamlands. This is certainly the most 'fantasy-esque' of his books and for most readers this will prove intriguing. The Clock of Dreams involves Henri-Laurent de Marginy, Titus Crow’s intrepid sidekick, discovering that his mentor has been kidnapped along with his new bride. Henri is recruited by the Elder God Kthanid to go get them back, requiring Henri to journey into the Dreamlands, specifically to the city of Ulthar. It's a fairly straightforward premise and gets resolved around the halfway mark before a series of side-adventures occur which end in a confrontation with the Other God Nyarlathotep. There's much to admire in this volume, particularly the story of the dreamer Elderby, who finds the town he visits in his dream taken over by the Horned Men and its people reduced to slavery. It’s a haunting and evocative tale. There is also an hilarious scene where Henri pilots the titular clock while drunk off his arse!
