When I started to write up the plot for Fungi from Yuggoth one sonnet at a time I assumed that it was one long story. The first 4 were about someone stealing a book to explain their unusual visions. By the fifth the first possible link to Randolph Carter appears as a daemon offers to take them back to a magnificent city they once called home "When they had sight". Struggling to fit in "VI The Lamp" and "VII Zaman's Hill" I hoped that reading on would help me figure them out . Instead the narrator contines from Arkham (which I assumed to be the city from the first sonnet) to Innsmouth where they find it to be a cult riddled maze where dancing corpses drag them through the streets to drumbeats ("IX The Courtyard" and "X The Pigeon-Flyers"). A non linear narrative seemed to emerge in "XI The Well" as the Narrator describes the story of Seth Atwood and his well. It was only when I'd written up "XII The Howler" that it started to dawn on me that it was too disjointed to be connected as they seemed to have miraculously escaped their captors to continue their journey up Briggs' Hill path.
I've since found out that most people agree that while the first three are linked the rest are completely separate from one another. While I agree that they aren't all linked I cant help but feel that there are more connections than that especially between the fourth and the first three and the ninth and tenth. I should probably finish reading them before I carry on rambling but I was just wondering what other peoples thoughts were on the matter.
