This review is from: Brian Lumley's Mythos Omnibus, Vol. 1 (Mass Market Paperback)

At last a nice affordable collection of Brian Lumley's Titus Crow novels.

The Mythos Omnibus Volume 1 (Volume two contains the last three novels) contains the following previously released Lumley novels:

The Burrowers Beneath The Transition Of Titus Crow The Clock Of Dreams

If you are a fan of Lumley you know how hard it was to find these novels previously. Now that they are out in this collection you have no excuse! All three are excellent stories in themselves.

My favorite was the Burrowers Beneath. Super scary. The chant Lumley recites throughout the novel still beats in my head. But overall the Burrowers Beneath introduces us to new characters that Lumley uses in quite a few books. Okay, many books to come. Crow and Demarigny. This pair of adventurers are time travelling, monster beating, world saving heroes extraordinaire! Aided with a time clock (previously introduced in an H.P. Lovecraft story, they are able to travel through different dimensions to different worlds! It leads to exciting adventures everywhere!

Cthulhu mythos fans should also get a kick out of these stories, but be warned, it deals more on exciting adventure and action than the H.P. Lovecraft setting. I love it! His best series next to Necroscope!

5.0 out of 5 stars Book Two Of An Excellent Series, March 3, 2000

By

This review is from: Brian Lumley's Mythos Omnibus, Vol. 2 (Mass Market Paperback)

Volume Two has three other novels.

Spawn Of The Winds In The Moons Of Borea Elysia

These books continue following the adventures of Crow and DeMarigny.

Spawn Of The Winds is interesting though. While it still goes with the series, Lumley creates altogether new characters and heroes for this adventure and barely mentions Crow or DeMarginy at all! They do tie in later though, and quite nicely.

This is another great series put together by Lumley, and I'm just so happy they finally rereleased some of his earlier work, and economically too.

A related book of short stories that fits in nicely with this series is The Compleat Crow.

Big tip! If you are like me and want to read virtually all of Lumley's works, then I highly suggest reading the Dreamlands saga after reading Spawn Of The Winds in Mythos Omnibus Volume Two. These books take place before In The Moons Of Borea (Unfortunately I did not know this and well, it blew it a little for me I think).

This review is from: Brian Lumley's Mythos Omnibus, Vol. 2 (Mass Market Paperback)

Brian Lumley is one of the best horror/weird fiction writers around. I have read everything he's written, even the hard-to-find and out-of-print stuff. This, along with Vol I, is a must have.
