HEADS UP READERS: For a 3 star rating, this rant review contain's a higher concentration of I'm so pissed than you might expect. The reason: there's a 250 to 300 page 5 star gem in here just begging on its paper knees to sparkle but it’s being rooster-blocked big time by another 250 pages of mind...

“Deadspeak” was one of my favorite Necroscope stories. I’ve been reading the books in chronological order, so I’ve spent the last few months read about all of Harry’s adventures during the Los Years. Pirates, alien forest monsters, the plague bearer, the Mobius murders, etc. I’ve been dying to ge...
As a former resident of Manitoba, I felt a certain kinship to the settings described (COOOOLLLD!), especially to the Canadian placenames with which I am familiar.

I'm attempting to read Brian Lumley's Mythos series in some kind of chronological order, so I haven't read all of the stories collected here yet, but I've read enough to know that this is a decent collection.

Harry’s father died of a stroke a year later, and in the winter of 1960 his mother remarried, this time to a Russian dissident, Viktor Shukshin. In the winter of ‘63 Shukshin murdered Harry’s mother by drowning her under the ice of a frozen river; he escaped punishment by alleging that while skat...
we were aboard Seafree, my four-berth houseboat, and getting ourselves settled in. Where I had her moored, at a spot some distance out of Henley itself, the Thames is quite deep and Crow seemed satisfied that we were safe there for the moment from any physical manifestations of the burrowers. Aft...
In effect and in mathematical terms, the Necroscope was adrift in an as yet incomplete interpretation of the entire space-time universe! But he knew that these were patterns—the very DNA of existence—which only God Himself could ever bring to a conclusion or summation, because God alone was the a...
He took hard biscuits from his pack and two cubes of dense black chocolate designed for sucking, not biting. Wash these down with a sip of water, and then he’d be on his way again. But now, while he sat here easing his deceptively gangly but powerful frame and catching a breather, there was time ...
But it felt more like a week!) Harry had thought he might track down the source of the emanations by use of a system of triangulation: by taking a number of psychic readings from various locations around the forest and pinpointing the spot where they crossed. He’d been distracted from this plan f...
It was a measure of his respect; his stance told eloquently of his recognition of Kthanid, that he stood in the presence of a superior Being. Then: `Yes,' said Kthanid, but directing his thoughts at Crow alone this time. 'Well, we're one and all superior in our way, else we'd not be here in Elysi...
HPL of course. While “Dylath-Leen” would later go into my Titus Crow/De Marigny Mythos novel The Clock of Dreams as a chapter in its own right, at the time of writing it was my first attempt at this sort of story. As such it was mainly unconnected to later Dreamlands stories that would feature Da...
SAID PAPASTAMOS, “but you should have. What? You think the Greeks are ignorant of these things? Greeks, of all people? Listen, I was a boy in Phaestos on the island of Crete, born and lived there until I was thirteen. Then I went to my sister in Athens. But I never forgot the myths of the islands...
Despite the circumstances, Angela was almost herself again. Something of hope had returned, and with it anxiety for the safety of the majority. “Didn’t they come with you?” “They were … incapacitated,” Gill answered. “That’s putting it mildly. They tried eating some of the fruit back there, which...
Some years ago horror came to two boys in the coalmining area of England’s north-east coast. Pals since they first started school seven years earlier, their names were John and David. John was a big lad and thought himself very brave; David was six months younger, smaller, and he wished he could ...
And the reason I make no mention of his name is because—like Clint Eastwood in those spaghetti westerns—he doesn’t have a name; I didn’t give him one. And even when he gives himself one in this small book’s title story, it’s a pseudonym. You’ll see what I mean. Unlike that cheroot-smoking fellow ...
As told, many of the travellers suffered in this way; and both Garth and Layla, during snatches of sleep, they also knew bad dreams. But mainly, having finally come together, their dreams were plagued by a single, recurrent theme: the fear of losing each other…Garth’s of being snatched away from ...
Darkhour was not long passed, and no one would venture to guide them to Moreen until the way was fully lighted by the strange auroral rays of the sun. For she did not dwell in the cavern itself — was unable to bear the weight of the mountain above — but preferred the air o...
I had forgotten that fact, but yesterday I was reminded. Julie was up first, creating great smells of coffee and frying bacon. And me still in bed, drowsy, thinking how great it was to be nearly back to normal. Three months she’d been out of that place, and fit enou...
