I live in semi-rural Texas and I work in EMS out here, so I deal with a lot of crazy old people and let me tell you something: you will get them out of their family home when you carry their cold dead corpse out the door and not one single minute earlier and they don't give a good goddamn why you think they should move. Insect infestations, black mold, the inability to get yourself out of bed and use the toilet by yourself, fungi from Yuggoth, rising floodwaters, gently caress all that and gently caress you. They were born in that house and by god they will die in it.

Fully concur. Maybe it's more an American thing than other places, but given the option to choose between shooting slavering aliens and nosy governmental officials who threaten their home, most Americans would give the G-men an exchange of lead and serve the Mi-go tea.

Did anyone else write any books/stories related to the dream cycle?

Brian Lumley did

http://www.brianlumley.com/books/cthulhu/dimensiondreams.html

I recall reading the one with the Queen of Zura. I don't recall any of the details except it was more a pulp story set in the dreamlands than a cosmic horror story but I could be wrong. I remember not being terribly impressed. I think Lumley was going for a more Conan/sword and sandals fantastic tone than anything else.

I've got 4 days to put together a Tabletop RPG in this setting, I have never read a lovecraft book, (scared off for reasons not related to horror.) I want to get well versed enough to capture the feel of it for 4 or 5 hours. Does anyone have a great place to start? Audiobooks / Radio Plays are preferred to almost anything else. Even more so, are compendiums that quickly help me get to that point.

Hello.
