A Lovecraftian voyage into Terror and Madness.5
From the moment I glanced at the horrific artwork on the dust jacket, until the turning of the last, fear drenched page, Brian Lumley had me firmly in the grasp of his skilled fiction.I'm a fanatical reader of H.P. Lovecraft, and thus, find it hard to criticize the Hemingway of Horror, but, in this case, someone has done Lovecraft better than Lovecraft. includes all of the wonders one comes to expect from the Cthulhu Mythos, such as Lurkers at the Threshold, Burrowers Beneath, Nuclear Chaos, Telepathy, and Elder Gods. However, Lumley has added his own, quite astute, interpretations of the Necronomicon. While Lovecraft's style is quite suited to the short story, his novel-length works tend to grate on the reader. Lumley has joined his style with Lovecraft, in order to make this first volume flow from page to page. The point of view from which the tale is told varies from section to section, serving to heighten the suspense by controlling the omniscience of the reader. At the same time, Lumley's skill avoids making a cliche out of "The Scholarly Review" and "The Unfolding Memory" methods he uses to tell the story. Lumley succeeds in doing what lesser writers have often attempted: Expanding upon Lovecraft's elegant worlds, without damaging their delicate balance of terror and reality. I would recommend this book to any follower of horror, and especially, lovers of the works of Lovecraft. Lumley has my highest praise for his excellent work, and I look forward to reading the future volumes in the series. Good luck, Titus Crow...
