First words |
While dreaming, you or I might notice a huge staircase leading enticingly down, out of ordinary dream, down the seventy stairs of light slumber, down into the Cavern of Flame. | |

Quotations |
The two-page entries are identical in approach: a general discussion, notes on habitat, distribution, and life and habits, and hints for distinguishing the creatures and beings in this book. An accurate illustration portrays each (videotapes of dreams are yet to be released, despite promises from the Windthrope Institute). Atlach-Nacha dislikes leaving its weaving even to feed, and has rejected prey which would be time-consuming to devour. Barton-Doherty expedition members wore laced fiberglass plates, hoping that the job of extricating their bodies from those indigestible shards would prove too lengthy for the spider-god's patience, prompting chances for interviews. Because of its benign nature, the ease with which it can be summoned, and its enhancement of personal security, the Blupe is a favorite of human hard metaphysicians. Current ignorance about Blupe physiology and behavior is absurd, considering the ubiquity of these creatures. We heartily recommend the study of these unimpressive but irreplaceable entities to young researchers looking to establish solid careers. Despite their alienness, Cats from Saturn clearly share kinship with earthly cats. Recent discoveries of cat-things on Uranus and Mars would seem to extend this relation. Perhaps catness is no accident of Earthly evolution but a principle of existence in our solar system. There is no evidence of the presence of 'cat' or 'catness' in other systems, but preternaturalists expect cosmological uniformity to prevail. In a random sample of 532 Gnorri, Meeb (1986) found that 37 were four-armed, 236 had three, and 259 had two arms, an incidence of 7%, 44%, and 49%, respectively. | |
