New Brian Lumley — THE TAINT AND OTHER NOVELLAS — in Stock and Shipping
Brian Lumley’s newest, the first volume of his Best Mythos Tales, arrives in our offices today and will begin shipping late this week or early next.
The Taint and Other Novellas gathers the best of Brian’s long Mythos tales, and is the companion of the soon to be announced — and already deep into production — Haggopian and Other Stories.
Here’s a taste of how Brian’s latest is being received:
From Publishers Weekly:
“Lumley fans will welcome this collection of seven longer Cthulhu Mythos tales from the prolific British author (Necroscope), on whom H.P. Lovecraft was an important influence… 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.”
From Booklist:
“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.”
