He didn't do that either, actually. It was a fictional story with no evidence beyond that.

My secret wish is to make an animated short based on The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath.

It's one of the most interesting fantasy adventures I've ever read. It's a meandering "and then and then and then" kind of story, and Lovecraft's typical flowery language causes the occasional eye-roll, but it's so weird and imaginative that I can't help but love it.
