Stories of four great heroes from three popular worlds that sprang from the fertile mind of the Grand Master of Horror and British Fantasy Award winner.
Here are eight long tales of four of Lumleyβs most popular creations; Titus Crow, David Hero and his companion, Eldin the Wanderer; and the original Necroscope himself, Harry Keogh.
Titus Crow: Psychic detective, master magician, destroyer of the ancient Cthulian gods. In βInception,β we see the infant Titus at the moment his destiny falls upon him. In βLord of the Worms,β a simple secretarial job lands Crow on a sacrificial altar. And in βName and Number,β Crow battles malevolent, occult winds that can rip living flesh from bone.
David Hero and Eldin the Wanderer: once men of the waking world, now agents for King Kuranes of the Dreamlands. Sips of βThe Weird Wines of Naxas Nissβ send the pair on a tumultuous journey from a buxom beautyβs bed to the depths of a wizardβs dungeon. Then, seeking his missing friend, David Hero boards an ill-fated airship that is home to βThe Stealer of Dreams.β
Harry Keogh, Necroscope: vampire killer without peer, capable of conversing with the dead. A sudden windfall brings Harry to Las Vegas, where he meets βDead Eddy,β a gambler who canβt resist the temptation of one last big winβfrom beyond the grave! In βDinosaur Dreams,β Harryβs interest in fossils leads him to uncover the truth behind the death of a young amateur paleontologist . . . Harryβs undying love for his mother leads him down a dangerous path in the brief βResurrection.β
Every world needs a hero. These are Brian Lumleyβs.
