[DC 1]

Sorry M8. None of the above.

The Sister City started out as a 14000 word short story. Derleth asked for it to be shortened, which took it down to about 10000 words.

At a later date, the original story (14000) had another 25000 words added and a spanking new title.

[DC 1]

T'was also his first Novel.

[kenny]

The Burrowers Beneath perhaps?

[DC 1]

Nope, sorry old bean

You did get one word right though

[Helmet Head]

Beneath the Moors???

It's been a while since I've read this one but I do slightly remeber it being about a city underground that's twinned with another and so The Sister City title makes muchos sensos...

I mean I could be completely wrong but I'm giving it a go anyway

[DC 1]

See. A logical answer thats right this time...:)

[kenny]

Beneath the Moors???

It's been a while since I've read this one but I do slightly remeber it being about a city underground that's twinned with another and so The Sister City title makes muchos sensos...

DC just about gave away the answer. anyone. Kenny.

[kenny]

The only other one that i have with two short stories about Hero and Eldin is Harry Keogh Necroscope And Other Weird Heroes! Surely it's not that one.

What was Brian's childhood nickname?

[kenny]

Anyone?

[matman72]

I've been observing this thread and was curious as to whether anyone can join in?:D Sorry for being presumptious, but I assume I can answer, & if accepted, join the horde in posting questions.
Anyway, Ken, if your referring to his nickname whilst at Harden Boys, he was called 'Speccy', mainly by Stanley Green, the bully.
Whilst in that timezone, I have one for you;
When he was born, in 1957, the Necroscopes mother, Mary named him________?(full name).
P.S. let me know if that was considered easy-hard on a 1-10 scale(for future reference.
P.P.S. Sorry if this is a closed (private) discussion.:o

[kenny]

Of course you can join in Matman, the more the merrier.:D

Just a small point though important, you had better read the question again because it has nothing to do with Harry, that stuff is for the Necro Knowledge Thread.

[matman72]

OOPS, that was a bit embaressing-that's what u get for reading too hastily I guess. I'll pay more attention next time. Thanx, by the way, I'll see if I can get back with the rightanswer.:D

[kenny]

The answer is found in the Companion.

[matman72]

The answer is found in the Companion.

[DC 1]

You're almost there. (Dont want much do I)

[matman72]

Well that's it for me then mate. On to someone else....
unless I can find something more specifics, but I doubt it.:confused:

[DC 1]

See, I knew you'd get there in the end

[Envy_the_Homunculi]

I am not to sure this belongs here but i hope it does

I got two questions about Demogorgon...

1. Charlie Trace had a brother was he the son or was Charlie for it told that his brother was malformed when he was born yet Charlie only had his funny foot or were both the sons of Khumenri?

2. Is their a sequel to that book

[kenny]

Welcome Envy to the boards, afraid this is posted on the wrong thread. You should have gone to Mediaspire or The Retreat.

[Silver]

Actually Envy that question was posted in exactly the right place, you should have started a new thread for it instead of adding it onto Lumlian Knowledge that's all.

Media spire is to discuss films, music etc and the retreat is for discussing anything at all Lumley related or not.

[matman72]

Just thinkin'. . . . . Lovecraft died and Brian was born:eek:...hmmmmmm-I wonder.


Anyway, anyone need a clue?
DC? Mega? Kenny? surely not.

Brian was born in County Durham, U.K. on December 2, 1937. Incidentally. the year Lovecraft the Legnd died.;)

[kenny]

Just thinkin'. . . . . Lovecraft died and Brian was born:eek:...hmmmmmm-I wonder.


Anyway, anyone need a clue?

Your question please

[megadeth]

[megadeth]

You've done the double sdk. You're go again.

[megadeth]

Was it Henrietta Montague?

[matman72]

Abdul Alhazred:eek::rolleyes::grin::grin:

[pheral]

It was magadeath your up.

[matman72]

But seriously, it can be debated that the first translation into English was done in 1586 by John Dee, a magician and Astrologer in service to QE I. It was translated, albeit not entirely, in part from the 1228 Wormius Latin version, in part from a Greek manuscript, and partially from drug-induced dreams and chats with Angels.
Another view is that Baron Frederick of Sussex translated, again apparently in part, in 1598.
Then theres Aliester Crowley. . . . . .blah blah

Im just bored,:grin: trying to start a debate(any takers?):grin::grin:

Sorry guys -- back to topic.

[matman72]

Ha, my serve?

Brian once speculated that this story "may have been a chapter left over or left out of " a Necroscope novel.
What is it?

[megadeth]

That would be The Picnickers.

[matman72]

Another fast answer. . .
