Return of the Deep Ones and Other Mythos Tales
Brian Lumley, author of the bestselling Necroscope and Vampire World series of novels, has for many years been a devotee of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. Defined by such nightmare fables as Dagon, The Call of Cthulhu and The Shadow Over Innsmouth, Lovecraft's legendary Deep Ones have taken their place in terror fiction alongside the vampire and the werewolf. Now they are given the Lumley treatment in – RETURN OF THE DEEP ONES!
But the Mythos was not restricted to tales of oceanic horror; nightmares out of space and time – and inner earth – abound in Lovecraft's fiction. Thus, with the addition of a long out of print novel, Beneath the Moors, one short story, Inception, and the novella, Lord of the Worms, Brian Lumley offers his latest homage to Lovecraft the Master.
Now, from forbidden depths of dream and ocean, the RETURN OF THE DEEP ONES!
Contents:
- Foreword
- Inception (1987)
- Lord of the Worms (1983)
- Beneath the Moors (1974)
