The vampire series, 'Necroscope', has been translated into ten languages and sold over a million copies worldwide.

Customer Reviews

An interesting mix of horror, fantasy and sci-fi.
Bringing together aspects of fantasy and science fiction with the horror of the Cthulhu Mythos, Lunley expands his work to Borea, home of Ithaqua. Here he introduces more heroes and links them to the saga of Titus Crow. Although he takes liberties with the Mythos, he gives his own ideas to Borea and it's moons to explore further the work of Lovecraft. The three stories make an exciting read, leaving the reader wanting more. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys the work of either Brian Lumley or those who work on the Cthulhu Mythos.

Nowhere is safe from the Call of Cthulhu, not even Britain
Lumley is true to style, HPLovecraft would be proud of him - even if the stories are set in England - which for me... a Londoner is fantastic. The horror aspect is superb, but Lumley tries to explain the magic as a form of science which sits uncomfortably in the latter half of the twentieth century. However, as hungry as Cthulhu fans are this morsel will be delicious and much appreciated. Long live Titus Crow.... "Ep, ep-eeth, fl'hur G'harne........"

psychological barrier?
I lost it with the first story,'the burrowers beneath',which at first read pretty okay (although seeing the worm-octopus creatures as gods is a bit difficult for me, especially because they lay eggs which a god just doesn't do in my mythical point of view)but when lumley tries to explain some ancient spell which imprisoned the Old Ones by a psychological barrier I threw the book very far away. But if you don't mind those things then it may be a good read if you like Lovecraft,though his style is far better in leaving things to imagination.
