<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In addition to his stellar Necroscope series, Brian Lumley is highly regarded for his short fiction, for which he has won the British Fantasy Award. <i>Beneath the Moors and Darker Places</i>, a companion to<i> The Whisperer and Other Voices</i>, collects nine of Lumley's best long short works, many of them unavailable for decades in any form. <p/>The Cthulhu Mythos of the immortal H. P. Lovecraft provides inspiration for much of Lumley's work, including Dagon's Bell and Big C, both included here. The explosive creation of a new volcanic island off Iceland in 1967 led to Rising with Surtsey, an homage not just to Lovecraft but to the great August Derleth. David's Worm-which takes an interesting view of you are what you eat-was published in a Year's Best Horror Stories and later adapted for radio in Europe. <p/>The collection also includes the macabre The Second Wish, published here for the first time with the author's original, intended ending, and The Fairground Horror, first published in The Disciples of Cthulhu twenty-five years ago and not seen since save for a small press edition. <p/>The title tale, Beneath the Moors, a complete short novel, has been unavailable in the US since its first publication by Arkham House in the early 1970s. It is considered to be one of Lumley's strongest short works; Tor is proud to restore this and the other pieces in this volume to Lumley's growing readership.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Lumley is obviously very bright, articulate, and in possession of an incredibly wild imagination." --<i>Rapport</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Brian Lumley</b> is the author of the bestselling Necroscope series of vampire novels. The first <i>Necroscope</i>, Harry Keogh, also appears in a collection of Lumley's short fiction, <i>Harry Keogh and Other Weird Heroes</i>, along Titus Crow and Henri Laurent de Marigny, from T<i>itus Crow, Volumes One, Two, and Three</i>, and <i>David Hero and Eldin the Wanderer</i>, from the<i> Dreamlands</i> series. <p/>An acknowledged master of Lovecraft-style horror, Brian Lumley has won the British Fantasy Award and been named a Grand Master of Horror. His works have been published in more than a dozen countries and have inspired comic books, role-playing games, and sculpture, and been adapted for television. <p/>When not writing, Lumley can often be found spear-fishing in the Greek islands, gambling in Las Vegas, or attending a convention somewhere in the US. Lumley and his wife live in England.</p>
