4.0 out of 5 stars Lumley Enthusuasts...Get This!, March 3, 2000

This review is from: The Compleat Crow (Hardcover)

Now how the hell I found this gem at my local bookstore I'll never know. I mean my local bookstores suck! It's stuck deep in a business area, where nobody reads horror and they don't even have a horror section! ARGH!

Nonetheless, like always I browse by author like I do every week and find this. The Compleat Crow. And what timing too! Right after I got Mythos Omnibus Volume One!

A little about the book now. It is a small book of short stories basically dealing with Lumley's character Titus Crow. The first story is very neat. It shows a peek into when Titus was born, just what extraordinary occurance happened! It also has stories that show as the years went on, how his vast knowledge in the occult grew.

A definite must for the Crow enthusiast. No Lumley library is compleat without this little ditty. I wish you all the best luck in finding a copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have for Crow Fans, June 5, 2001

Dr Andy Lange (Audubon, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Compleat Crow (Hardcover)

A collection of short-stories revolving around his Lovecraftian Hero Titus Crow, this book is classic Lumley!

We get a much wider view of Crow in these stories, learning not only how he came to possess his abominable Cthaat Aquadingen, but also how he came to be involved in this mysterious world from his very infancy!

Lumley's penchant for Numerology can also be seen in these tales, as well as his characters' penchant for smug invincibility!

If you like Lumley or Lovecraft, or simply enjoyed the Titus Crow novels, you owe it to yourself to read these marvelous tales!
