Call of Cthulhu?

[KingOfChaos]

I was wondering if Brain Lumley had ever written any books with strong ties to the Cthulhu Mythos?

I read somewhere that he had strong influence from H.P Lovecraft's works.

KingOfChaos,

First, let me say welcome to the board!

Yes, Brian has a LOT of work with ties to the Cthulhu Mythos. Off the top of my head I can think of the Titus Crow stories (6 novels, I believe along with numerous short stories), the Hero/Eldin stories (set in HPL's Dreamworld) and his Primal Land stories.

IMHO, the Titus Crow works are more along the lines of the traditional CM stories (if there is such a thing) and these are my favorites. However, his Dreamworld and Primal Land stories are also great. If you like Brian's other stuff, you'll like these.

the Lumley creations Kthanid and Yibb-Tstll appear in Call of Cthulhu game books. Its odd that according to Brian's own description, Yibb-Tstll has no mouth, but the illustration of the deity in the core game book does.
