One of the early Yellow Peril examples in weird fiction. Robert W. Chambers's The Moon Maker sets the stage for a subsequent crop of dreamlands situated "coterminously" with Central Asia and has been called the prototype for the Plateau of Leng used by the Weird Tales pool of writers, specifically H. P. Lovecraft. The Plateau of Leng is a thinly-disguised Tibet, whereas HPL's Kadath (first appears as Kadatheron) is a movable feast, appearing north of Inganok, a sort of stylized Greenland that specializes in marble quarrying located next to Plateau of Leng, but then jumping to the South Pole or at least Antarctica in At the Mountains of Madness.
