5.0 out of 5 stars Enthralling!, 28 Dec 2000
By A Customer
I was fascinated by the detail and my long lost imagination which was sparked by this book. If anyone is thinking of reading Brian Lumley, this would be a good introduction.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Any Lumley, Lovecraft and Horror Fan!, 7 Mar 2008
By Mr. S. W. Steel "stephensteel" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Brian Lumley has two great characters in his long and illustrious career. The first, is Harry keogh of the Necroscope novels - probably the most famous of his books. But for those of you who like these books, it is well worth dipping into the world of his other great character - Titus Crow. Brian Lumley has long been a fan of H.P. Lovecraft's works and particulary the Cthulu Mythos. Titus Crow is based quite heavily on the writings of Lovecraft, and it is quite obvious that Lumley really enjoys expanding the world of Lovecraft.
So, just who is Titus Crow? Well, the best way to decribe him is a Sherlock Holmes type of character, whose interest lies in the paranormal rather than the field of crime solving. Like Holmes, Crow has his 'Watson' in the character of De Marigny.
The style of this volume is very much in the style of Lovecraft and Conan Doyle. These stories are very short, and the language used is very similar to that of Lovecraft and Doyle. For me, a fan of both those great authors, this was a real pleasure!
This first collection has 11 short stories in it. It begins with a short story that deals with how Titus crow became 'special'. It is a fantastic introduction, and sets the stage for the rest of the book. The stand out stories for me are The Lord of Worms and Name and Number.With all of the stories they are short and sweet. You are never left feeling bored by any of them; all have a really strong idea behind them which is carried through properly - though in many cases i enjoyed them so much that i wanted more!
The collection is made up of horror, ghost and Cthulu Mythos stories and is great starting point to begin an incredible journey with Crow. After this book there are a further two volumes called the Mythos Omnibus 1 and 2, but this volume is the one to start with and get a 'feel' for the character. I don't want to give any of the plots or hidden gems contained with the stories, you will need to discover these for yourself.
However, i can only give this collection four stars out of five. This is in no way a criticism of the book in any way, shape or form, but purely because the first Mythos Omnibus is even better than this - and that is praise indeed! As far as short story collections go this is a top drawer collection for any horror,Lumley or Lovecraft fan. Take my advice and get the Mythos Omnibus volumes 1 and 2 at the same time!
If you have read the Necroscope novels, then you should really try this volume out - i have been a Necroscope fan for years, but Titus Crow is on a par with those books. My only complaint is that Lumley hasn't written any 'new' Crow books for years - and that is a real shame. There is a great potential with this character, and it would be great to see more of him!

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant collection of all the Titus Crow stories!, 30 May 1999
By A Customer
At long last it`s nice to see all the classic Titus Crow stories gathered together in one volume. For any fan of the Cthulhu Mythos then this is a definite must for your collection. Brian Lumley is to be congratulated on a superb collection - every one a winner!
