In Inception, we see the infant Titus at the moment his destiny falls upon him. In Lord of the Worms, a simple secretarial job lands Crow on a sacrificial altar. And in Name and Number, Henri Laurent de Marigny details a battle between Titus Crow and malevolent, occult winds which can rip living flesh from bone. <p/>David Hero and Eldin the Wanderer: once men of the waking world, now agents for King Kuranes of the Dreamlands. Sips of The Weird Wines of Naxas Niss send the pair on a tumultuous journey from a buxom beauty's bed to the depths of a wizard's dungeon. Then, seeking his missing friend, David Hero boards an ill-fated airship that is home to The Stealer of Dreams. <p/>Harry Keogh, Necroscope: vampire killer without peer, capable of conversing with the dead. A sudden windfall brings Harry to Las Vegas, where he meets Dead Eddie, a gambler who can't resist trying for one last big win from beyond the grave. In Dinosaur Dreams, Harry's interest in fossils leads him to uncover the truth behind the death of a young amateur paleontologist . . . and to discover that it's not just dead people he can call on in a crisis . . . . Harry's undying love for his mother leads him down a dangerous path in Resurrection. <p/>Four of Lumley's greatest heroes. Three of his most popular worlds. Tales to chill and to delight.
