title: The House of Cthulhu: Tales of the Primal Land Vol. 1
author:  Brian Lumley 
description: <div>"Since reading Lumley's "Necroscope" series, I know that vampires really do exist!"-H. R. Giger<br><br>"Lumley excels at depicting heroes larger than life and horrors worse than death."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>"Lumley is obviously very bright, articulate, and in possession of an incredibly wild imagination."--<i>Rapport</i><br><br>"Lumley uses language deftly to conjure his alien universe."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>"An accomplished wordsmith, Lumley wields a pen with the deft skill of a surgeon, drawing just enough blood to titillate without offending his readers."--The Phoenix Gazette<br>"Lumley's strength is in his jovial voice, a diction that dominates the narrative. Lumley's love of his pulp-horror subjects is gleefully apparent. He revels in every telling detail, in stories-within-stories and convoluted histories."--<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i><br><br>"Whether humorous or atmospheric and chilling, Lumley's tales are delightful."--<i>Booklist</i><br><br>"For fans of Brian Lumley and anyone who enjoys Lovecraft. Well written, displaying Lumley's skill at world building."--<i>Midwest Book Review</i> on <i>Harry Keogh: Necroscope and Other Weird Heroes</i><br><br>"A faithful tribute by veteran fantasist Lumley to horror author H.P. Lovecraft. A good addition to most libraries' horror collections and a title with special appeal to fans of the Cthulhu mythos."--<i>Library Journal </i>on <i>Beneath the Moors and Darker Places</i><br><br>"Nightmarish in a manner obviously inspired by Lovecraft . . . long hard to find in the US. Lumley succeeds at spine-chilling creepiness. Juicy indeed-worthy additions to the mythos and the horror genre alike."--<i>Booklist</i> on <i>ochBeneath the Moors and Darker Places</i><br></div>
