[Lady Vee]

Is this a new book? How is the read? Ive been wanting to get back into reading more of his storys but I dont know where to start. I have the whole Necroscope series and the Psychomec books, these are my favs as of this moment. So anyone out there know which others are great reads puhlease let me know! Any help is much appreciated!! =)

[sdkdmd]

my favorits
Khai of Khem
House of doors and Maze of Worlds

and so much more
there are others who can tell you more about the Cthulhu Mythos [Dream land, Titus Crow, ect]better then I.

[Lady Vee]

Hey there! Thanx for that, Id love to get into something new to read, my fav reads are anything by Stephen King and Brian Lumley! Ive read the Necrscope books over and over. So how are the reads on the books you've mentioned? Do they have the same feel as the others? I just love how he goes into all the details in his storys, it just makes my imagination run wild and thats what I love the most when reading his storys. Have you heard about the "movie"?!?! Now that is some very exciting news!! =)

[sdkdmd]

about Khai of Khem, you read the sci-fi interview with Brain ?
well, he said it all, Khai has every thing except the kitchen sink. not really like any of his other work i think it's his best...next to necroscope.

House of Doors and Maze of Worlds...are about your worse fears. it's been awhile, a long while since i've read them.

these two reads [to start with] will show you how versatile Brian can be.

then you got Titus Crow books, the Dream Land books and another favorite of mine the Primal Land stories.

you can also do a search on these titles here on the board and see what others think, their opinions or just for fun.

[Lady Vee]

Well much "Mahalos" for that! =) Mahalo in hawaiian means "thank you very much"!!

Well Im heading to Borders as we speak to see what I can get, Im also getting a Stephen King book, its from his Dark Tower series, its finally on paperback, which I can afford, lol!

I was over at amazon.com and was reading the first pages of the book, which I find very useful! So Im either going to start with the "Khai khem" or the "Titus Crow" books, its going to be which ever I lay my hands on, lol!!

Thanx so much for the help and the wonderful chats!! You know if your interested Im mostly at this forum where we chat about movies and tv shows, books, games, whatever comes to mind. If your interested let me know! =)

[sdkdmd]

Titus Crow consist of 6 books and a bunch of short stories.
Dream Land, 4 books

these might be hard to come by at a book store, you'll have to try.

Khai is a re-release of an older book [Khai of Ancient Khem] only in hard back still, i think.

you'll most likely have to order any of Brians books, except necroscope.

i'm reading Wolves of the Calla right now.

Oh, and yes i've heard about the movie.there is also a web site, not up all the way but soon i hope. again you can check out this site for all kinds of conversation about the movie.

[Lady Vee]

Yeah went to Border, any books I want by Lumley would have to be ordered, they only have the Necroscope series. Ive also checked out website, its totally brand new nothing there YET! And as for the movie, I hope it will be soon but I bet its going to be awhile. So I check around here and see whats going on with the movie.

BTW..hows the book your reading?!?!

[sdkdmd]

sorry Lady Vee but we're going off topic, this thread is for Cthulhu Mythos.

it would be nice to see you stay around, join in on some of the other threads.there are some real sociable people around here.

BTW..the book is an inprovment over wizards and glass which was good but my lease favorite.

[Lady Vee]

Oh I plan to hang here as much as possible! =)

I need to pick up my copy which Borders is holding it for 3 days for me, but I aslo checked online and can get better prices.

[topol_sheap]

tott (totally off topic tops) ;)

Wizard and Glass was my favourite.

As for the Cthulhu Mythos, if you have anything specific you'd like to ask, ask away, althought I'm not around at the moment monday to friday, so if I don't immediately respond, I'm not being rude - I'm just not about!

[sdkdmd]

Darn!! we got caught

Greetings
This is my first time on this message board so I would like to introduce myself here!

I'm a fan of the Cthulhu Mythos for a number of years and I still find it a rich a rewarding subject. Also I noticed here the Book The Khai of Khem which I picked up and have just finished. I find it a very intersting adventure a little different than other novels by Brian Lumely, but got my attention from start to finish.
I hope to add my thoughts and views to this message board and make some firend along the way.

Hi Dagon,

Please be aware for "hi I'm new posts" you should use the gate area of the board.

Welcome to the board anyway!

Thanks,

Titus Crow and the Dreamland Series are all great books. I love them, though I have loved everything Lumley has written. You can also find stories about the Cthulhu Mythos in some of his collections of short stories. I personally love Return of the Deep Ones and am rereading it right now.

The only Lumley books I have been able to find at bookstores are the Necroscope series, and even those are getting rare to see any more here. I have bought most of my books off Amazon.com. They have a lot of his books there, and usually at a better price.

[Lady Vee]

Thanx for that update, Im heading there right after this! =)

[kenny]

You could also try Ebay as there is a special section for Lumley books. And if you are lucky they even might be signed as well.

[Lady Vee]

Wow!! Im heading there right after this! Thanx!

[Lord Scorpio]

Oh yes, I didn't think about ebay. I have not actually even looked there in a long time. All the new or re-release of Lumley books coming out recently has distracted me from looking there.

[Lady Vee]

Yeps I checked it out and its like a book store there! I had like Lumley fever, lol!! Anyways its very hard decide on what I want to read next, I want to read the books with a long drawn out storys like the Necroscope series. Do you have any suggestions?!?! =)

[Exsanguinator]

I love the short stories and the Psychomech trilogy... Btut really, all he's written is worth reading.

Oh, 'long and drawn out' doesn't describe his stories, they're way too tightly written to say drawn out! lol

[Lady Vee]

lol! Yes very true but what I meant was how the books go on and on and thats what I love about the series of books, Plus I hated when the Necroscope series came to an end. =( Ive also read and have all the Psychomech trilogy, I didnt want that story to end either, lol!! So what would you recommend now?!?! =)

[Lord Scorpio]

But the Necroscope series has not ended! .. yet.

Why not just check out the books, read the descriptions and see what sounds good to you at this time. You will wind up reading them all anyway right? You can't get any bad Lumley.

[sdkdmd]

Lady Vee! It's been awhile.

Wondering if you ever gave Khai of Khem a try

[Lady Vee]

Yeps its sure has! =)

Nopes I havent YET, lol! Could you give me some 411 on the read, to help me decide?!?! =)

[Lady Vee]

Its not?!?! Ive read all the Necroscope series and then the last three, I think it was called "The Lost Years" not to sure, its been awhile since I reread them, lol! So whats after this? Do you have some inside scoops about whats coming if you do, some details puh-lease!!!!! lol! =)

[Exsanguinator]

Get a couple of short story collections - you can dip into them at any time and some are deeply satisfying...

[Lord Scorpio]

There are 13 books in the Necroscope series http://www.brianlumley.com/necroscope/. Then there is a collection of short stories about Harry, Titus Crow, and David Hero and Eldin the Wanderer (from the Dreamland series) called Harry Keogh: Necroscope and Other Heroes! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0765308479/qid=1142335357/sr=2-2/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_2/002-0623013-7816815?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

And now there is a new Necroscope book coming out, The Touch. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0765316099/002-0623013-7816815?n=283155

If you really want someone to suggest a place to start I say go with Titus Crow.

[Lady Vee]

Thanx, I will look into those short storys! =)

[Lady Vee]

Ooooooh I want "The Touch"!! It sounds like a book I can sink my teeth into, hehehe! ;)

Juneis right around the corner and the price is nice!

Regarding the Titus Crow books, whats the story on that book?!?! =)

[Lord Scorpio]

Simplified version, Titus Crow battles the Elder Gods ... with a clock.

[Lady Vee]

Well then thats the book I will defintely look into next, now I just need to go shopping at either Amazon or Ebay so I can hopefully get the whole set of books so I can read them one after the other! Thanx! =)

[hopfrog]

Does anyone know when the trade paperback edition of HAGGOPIAN will be released, and if it has the early Titus Crow stories that appeared in Brian's first Arkham House collection? I sold my copy of THE CALLER OF THE BLACK many years ago and I really want to re-enjoy those early Crow stories. Thanx.:)
