Necroscope Series
one of the best, if not the top in the series Harry goes on the lam planning to depart this realm for the source world of the vampires.However, he feels he must finish his current task to destroy-the maniac who possesses deadspeak even while his former allies want to destroy him before the vampire inside him takes control. This reprint of Book V of the Necroscope series is one of the best, if not the top novel in the long running series (thirteen books I believe).The story line cleverly ties up the opening quintet leaving few loose ends and enabling a fresh start with the next trilogy (see The Blood Brothers).Of the first five tales, the last of the quintet DEADSPAWN is the only one that seems to stand alone as well as completing the story arc.Harry is at his best as he struggles with himself and battles with his friends and a deadly enemy in a tale that showcases Brian Lumley at his greatest.

Editorial Review Product Description While Lumley is perhaps best known now for Necroscope, the Crownovels (which also include those collected in Titus Crow, VolumeTwo and TitusCrow, Volume Three) offer an early glimpse at the creativetalents of a contemporary horror master. Crow is a fascinatingcharacter--an obsessed genius uncovering ancient gods in alate-20th-century world that is blind to its imminent destruction. Atthe same time, de Marginy, writing through epistles and journals,brings a naive immediacy to the narratives. Lumley's prose has abaroque feel that lends an antique patina to Crow's world (supposedlyin the 1960s and '70s), and his blend of horror à la Lovecraft,adventure reminiscent of Edgar Rice Burroughs, and techno-sciencefiction with shades of Asimov is always pleasantlysurprising. Titus Crow makes for solid and enjoyable readingthat deftly crosses genres. It's a pleasure to have these novels in areadily available form again. --Patrick O'Kelley Customer Reviews (19)

Book
Not Lovecraft, but a fun read
Offspring of Lovecraft and Edgar Rice Burroughs
Pulp Adventure set in HPL's Dreamlands The characters, adventures and pacing are very reminiscent of the sort of thing you'll find in Burroughs novels, Leiber's Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser stories, or some of the less gloomy fantasy books by Moorcock.The protaganists are out of the "loveable rogue" mold, guys who are selfish and a bit shifty, but with good hearts, who wind up doing the right thing when their backs are to the wall. Lovecraft's Dreamlands provide an interesting setting for all the action.HPL's own stories in the setting are usually more about exploration, with nary a fight scene to be found.However, the setting suits an action story well. So, overall, it's entertaining in the same sort of fun mindless way that a Sinbad movie is.Fans of the kinds of fantasy stories I mentioned above will enjoy the novel, and may find the setting interesting enough to interest them in HPL's dreamlands stories.Or, if you're an open-minded Lovecraft fanatic, you'll be fascinated by the little extensions and additions to the original Lovecraft setting. Yes, it's self-indulgent; yes, it's not terribly original; yes, it's somewhat shallow.But, if you're willing to accept all that, it's great fun.

Mixed bag of short stories The first two stories have, aside from the boisterous characters,a Lovecraftian feel to them.The stories have a slower pace than is usual for the rest of the Dreamlands series, but more than anything else in the series I thought they conveyed a sense of awe and horror. Some will be bored with those stories since there's so little action, others will revel in the horrible weirdness. The third and final story (aside from some interstitial pieces) was a major disappointment, I thought.The villian does all those silly things that the bad guys in James Bond movies do.He reveals all the details of his evil plan before attempting (unsuccessfully) to kill David Hero and his girlfriend in a silly way.Big surprise, Hero and girl manage to survive, meet back upwith sidekick and other girl, and win the day.Ho hum, a cliche that we've all grown very tired of. The climax unfolds in a predictible fashion, and the conclusion is not very satisfying.I also found the use of acronyms to be extremely silly and annoying - the "Seer with the invisible eyes"is refered to as SWIE or somesuch throughout the last story.Blah. If I were able to rate the stories individually, the first two stories would get 5 stars, and this last awful story would get one or two stars. For the Lovecraft nut, the second story provides a whole new aspect of the Dreamlands underworld; the remainder of the book doesn't really add much new in terms of exploring or adding to Lovecraft's settings.
A so so ending to the Dreamlands Saga |

An epic, ambitious adventure Still, I can forgive him that, because once the weak setup is done, Hero and Eldin are launched into their most sweeping adventure yet. But it's also the corniest adventure yet.All of the old villians are back and united - it reminds me of a silly Batman plot, with the arch-villians banding together to fight the caped crusader, but spend as much time fighting with themselves.Still, it works, as long as you don't take it too seriously. This is the first of the Dreamlands books that introduces some Great Old Ones into the action.As usual with Lumley, he shows them as being far more interested in and susceptible to the affairs of men than Lovecraft ever would have.The HPL purists out there will probably be disappointed or offended.I'm not a purist myself, but I did have problems with some of the Nightgaunts starting to act heroic, on their own, being even a little bit human. Once the action gets started, this is the most ambitious of Lumley's Dreamlands books, with harrowing escapes, battles between large fleets of sky-ships, all the way up to the incredible fate of our heroes at the end of the story.If you're willing to tolerate the absurdity of some of it, and can deal with the liberties Lumley takes with some of HPL's creations, it's a fun ride.

OUT OF PRINT
Terra Khash, Yet Another Great Lumley Hero. The stories in it are apparently the combined shortadventures of Lumley's Conanish character Tarra Khash, which were writtenfor Wierdbook and possibly other publications. Don't let this fool youthough, it reads like a novel. Similar to his Hero and Eldin adventuresin Lumley's Dreamworlds saga, Khash adventures throughout the ancientcontinent of Theem'hdra (when all the continents were one..the Pangea). He finds both friends and foes. Various gods and different races maketheir appearances as well. Overall a good read. It is an early novel ofLumley's and since I am trying to be a Lumley completist I got this one. Iam not disappointed. There is also a volume 2 of collected Khash stories aswell. ... Read more |
