Booklist on THE TAINT AND OTHER NOVELLAS by Brian Lumley
Brian Lumley’s forthcoming gathering of his best mythos novellas, The Taint and Other Novellas, continues to rack up the kudos. As you my recall, Publishers Weekly said, “Perhaps most memorable is the 2005 title story, which, despite being set in Lovecraft’s haunted seaport of Innsmouth, avoids Mythos cliches and comes across as distinctly the author’s own.” And now Booklist has weighed in with “Lumley is not only the subgenre’s most prolific practitioner but also arguably its most imaginative… Lumley’s knack for nightmarish scenarios and chilling language puts his writings at the forefront of contemporary horror fiction.”
