AlvinFox Wrote:One thing I don't like about Brian Lumley is his 'new' short story collections that contain no new short stories. Just collections the same stories from a few different books. Even worse are the collections with ONE new story in it. I'm looking at you The Nonesuch and Others coming out on May 31.
Also, about Lumley, I was amazed at how easily he inserted the two Lost Years books between Vamphyri and The Source and then made in make sense on why the characters never referenced anything that happened in them.
And the first three Dreamlands books are some of my favorite books. The Curator rocks.
Like Dave said, I have three trade paperback story collections by Lumley and numerous Cthulhu Mythos anthologies and I still don't have all the stories and novellas contained therein (in Taint and in Hoggopian) only between 1/2 and 2/3...which is more than enough to know that I want the rest.
The ones I don't have may not be new stories, but they're new to me
...and they're all together in one easy to find place, now, as well.
Come to think of it, that's also the reason that I decided recently not to buy Revelations and Thriller (for Aryans and Absynth and for Interlude at Dwayne's)...they're being collected into
Aftershock and Others in a few months.
