29 Burleson identiies the irst of these themes as denied primacy , or a sense that
humans are completely insigniicant in the universe. A second theme, of forbidden
knowledge , reveals that there are some forms of knowledge “only by the avoidance
or suppression of which can humankind maintain a semblance of well-being.”
Another theme, illusory surface appearances , means that things in the world are
not as they seem. Burleson identiies unwholesome survival as a fourth theme of
Lovecrat, where some things outlive their rightful existence. Finally, the theme
of oneiric objectivism , where “there is at best an ambiguous distinction between
dreaming and reality,” is a predominant aspect of Lovecrat's work. See, Donald
