Falls somewhere between The Shadow Over Innsmouth and The White Ship, both in terms of story and quality.

Lovecraft is best when he shrugs off his most overtly Dunsanian influences. "The Festival," "The Nameless City," and some of the other later stories in this collection were the strongest, I felt. Certain stories started off dreadfully slow, but once the slow dread begins to creep in, it's worth it.

I only read it because I thought Sarnath in title reffered to the Indian city of same name.

This one described humans and their need to conquer just a little too well.
