Can't forget Demogorgon, Beneath the Moors and all other Novellas. In fact ANYTHING Brian has put on paper.
Personal favorites. Tarra Khash, Hero&Eldin of the Dreamlands and Titus Crow and friends and the one that got me hooked Bloodwars Trilogy.

I have to personally recommend the Psychomech trilogy. One of my faves and a must read. Khai ranks up there too though...

Khai is amazing. So is the Psychomec series - good call there Shadoe.
If you want a series there are 3 Psychomec's, the Titus Crow ones are good too, the Mythos Omnibus. Depending on what edition depends on how many books there are in that one but in total there are 6 stories, also the Dreamland series has 4 books and the Primal Lands has 3. These are not large novels though like the Necroscope, these are shorter books and some are books of short stories, but just because they're smaller doesn't mean they aren't good!
I think there's a full list in the Brian Lumley Companion - do you have that? It's very useful, if you're the dedicated reader I think you are you might want to get it if you haven't already

I live in Oklahoma so most novels are hard to come by but i intend to do some shopping on amazon and fully intend to get everything Master Lumley writes...

Hmm, I could send it to you on your birthday - or you could try to order it from Amazon or somewhere!
I may have 2 copies but they are both very dear to me - one is a standard copy that I bought and have collected signatures in, the other is a special edition one that was very very kindly given to me by Nick Austin, an extremely generous man. I'm not parting with either!

House of Doors and Maze of Worlds are good reads - but I have yet to find any of Brian's work, whether it is a short story or novel that I don't like, so I guess I am sort of biased. :)

I've always recommended both these titles and I'll do so again.

Here where I live barely anyone knows the name of Brian Lumley, so when i first read the books back in High School, i was sort of the outcast because rarely no one read vampire stories in school, even Anne Rice was rarely read by anyone in school...
But yeah apparently people who read Brian Lumley here are a rare breed...
I've yet to read Khai of Khem and a few others as well, yet to get into the Dreamlands either so

The Dream Lands are a personal fave and probably not what you'd expect as there more of a comedy adventurer story, absolutely bloody brilliant though.
Khai of Khem is fantastic and Demogorgon very very good indeed.
Basicaly there all stupendous and worth a look!

The Viaduct was one of my first stories by Brian. Since than I've searched out 99% of all published short stories.

I'm still suprised - what do you actually have missing? I thought surely if there's anyone who has everything available it must be you!

I'm not really sure. It's been awhile since I've went through them.
I've been trying to catalog my books at http://www.librarything.com/profile/WJohn when I'm done I'll know what I'm missing.
Feel free to check out my books.

That is a FINE FINE collection there John. Just wish i had the time to do something like that, but not on such a grand scale.

Believe me, it's taken a lot of time to do this. Months and months and months. I figure maybe I'm almost half way through
