Product Description
From the Back Cover
From the creator of 'Necroscope' – three landmark novels of the Cthulhu Mythos:
THE SAGA OF TITUS CROW!
'THE BURROWERS BENEATH'
In which Crow is alerted to a menace in the earth that gnaws at the very foundations of Man’s domination of his home planet – and seeks to usurp him! Two men share a terrible secret and make their lonely stand against subterranean terror.
'THE TRANSITION OF TITUS CROW'
Fleeing from the Burrowers, Crow discovers the secrets of time and space and learns the lore of the Great Old Ones. But Lord Cthulhu seeks not only the domination of Earth but the destruction of the Elder Gods and the space-time continuum itself! De Marigny answers Crow’s call from the depths of space to join him in the battle for universal sanity against all the forces of evil.
'THE CLOCK OF DREAMS'
From fathomless ocean depths, Cthulhu’s dreams disturb the minds of men to reshape the waking world. Diverted from his search fro the lost Elysia, de Marigny pilots his space-time machine into subconscious worlds of dream and nightmare in a bid to save the lives and very souls of Titus Crow and Tiania of Elysia.
In the companion Volume II:
'Spawn of the Winds, In the Moons of Borea' and 'Elysia!'

Bringing together aspects of fantasy and science fiction with the horror of the Cthulhu Mythos, Lunley expands his work to Borea, home of Ithaqua. Here he introduces more heroes and links them to the saga of Titus Crow. Although he takes liberties with the Mythos, he gives his own ideas to Borea and it's moons to explore further the work of Lovecraft. The three stories make an exciting read, leaving the reader wanting more. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys the work of either Brian Lumley or those who work on the Cthulhu Mythos.

"The Burrowers Beneath" is dark, creepy and very much set in England. The other two books just "go off on one". Kind of "pseudo-horrific-fantasy-drivel", rather like the Barbara Cartland character in "Little Britain" except with monsters.
I didn't finish the last story in this book as I just got bored. The main character becomes way too good at everything and the effects on his mind of the incredible sequence of events he goes through are hardly explored.

Lumley is true to style, HPLovecraft would be proud of him - even if the stories are set in England - which for me... a Londoner is fantastic. The horror aspect is superb, but Lumley tries to explain the magic as a form of science which sits uncomfortably in the latter half of the twentieth century. However, as hungry as Cthulhu fans are this morsel will be delicious and much appreciated. Long live Titus Crow.... "Ep, ep-eeth, fl'hur G'harne........"

I bought this for my husband. He has read other books by this author, and wanted more. He loved it. He said Brian Lumleys books are some of the best he has ever read. I will be buying more.

A great read, and a must for all Lovecraft fans. I once thought that the Old Ones roamed the towns of Arkham, Innsmouth, Dunwhich etc but now they appear in the villages and city's of England. That makes it even more enjoyable.

I lost it with the first story,'the burrowers beneath',which at first read pretty okay (although seeing the worm-octopus creatures as gods is a bit difficult for me, especially because they lay eggs which a god just doesn't do in my mythical point of view)but when lumley tries to explain some ancient spell which imprisoned the Old Ones by a psychological barrier I threw the book very far away. But if you don't mind those things then it may be a good read if you like Lovecraft,though his style is far better in leaving things to imagination.
