The volcanic eruption that created the island of Surtsey in 1967 also revealed a long-hidden cache of documents that told the fantastic history of Theem'hdra as written by the sorcerer Teh Atht. Building on translations begun by the scholar Thelred Gustau—who vanished under mysterious, some say magical, circumstances—Brian Lumley brings the saga of the Primal Land to audiences of today. Here, the wizard Mylarkhrion—most powerful of the terrible magicians who walked the earth in those long-ago days—battles sorcerers jealous of his knowledge, power, and wealth.

This lesser-known character isn't so much a typical Lumley hero as an innocent bystander, who all too often seems to be standing by in the wrong place at the wrong time - a man in collision with various weird horrors, who can never state definitely that the things he experiences are real. So here he is - the neither hero nor anti-hero narrator of these stories - though, in The Nonesuch and Others, he's at least seen to be brave, if not actually heroic.

The Necronomicon was not the first book by H.P. Lovecraft to terrify readers with tales of dark and twisted horrors from beyond. No, the Al-Azif, or Book of the Insect, is the first work that told mankind of Cthulhu, Azathoth, and other terrors. Indeed, it was the book that inspired "The Mad Arab" Abdul Al-Hazred to write its more famous successor.

Story
This is one of Lovecraft's most beautifully written and frightening stories. It is written from the perspective of a surveyor, who, while surveying a rural area that is to be flooded near the town of Arkham, comes across a mysterious, abandoned farmstead, which is completely devoid of all life. At the center of the farmstead is an old well. The site fills him with an unnatural sense of dread, and, as it turns out, there is good reason for that feeling.

H. P. Lovecraft is arguably the most important horror writer of the 20th century.

This chilling collection includes 20 works, each prefaced by Lovecraft's own opinions and insights in each author’s work.

In what many refer to as one of the first and greatest science fiction thrillers, a mysterious stranger wanders into an inn, wrapped head-to-toe in bandages. What lies beneath the bandages is something even more mysterious. As Wells tackles issues of identity, deception, and the deterioration of the human mind, listeners will be drawn into the story of the mysterious man, whose own mistakes end up whisking him into a whirlwind of deceit, terror, and even murder. In the end, the question will be asked: when your sense of self and identity vanish, who will you become?

Set in the 26th century A.D., Yevgeny Zamyatin's masterpiece describes life under the regimented totalitarian society of OneState, ruled over by the all-powerful "Benefactor." Recognized as the inspiration for George Orwell's 1984, We is the archetype of the modern dystopia, or anti-Utopia: a great prose poem detailing the fate that might befall us all if we surrender our individual selves to some collective dream of technology and fail in the vigilance that is the price of freedom.

My First Brian Lumley Book, Great Short Stories
All original works, some in the the Cthulu Mythos. Many loosely interconnected threads and characters between the stories, but not consequential. There are many short story anthologies out there, many of which are either poorly organized, full of random public domain stories interspersed with the narrators comparatively poor original works. This is all Lumley's work and the narrator is perfect for the tone.
I can't wait to read some of his other stories, or pick up the Necroscope novels.

Fun, Quick Short Stories
Like another reviewer mentioned, these are great stories to listen to with a drink in hand late at night or one story per night before bed, etc.
Most of the stories are on the short side (25 min or less). However, there is one toward the end that is seven chapters long (this is by far the best story in the collection). I usually find 30 min to 1 hour per story best (or if the stories all build on one another, like in the same universe, etc.)

2020: Here at Last
The book where it all began for Master Brian Lumley is given the Joshua Saxon treatment.
Honestly, only Joshua should be reading Master Lumley's works, and herein lies the proof.
From the first breath to the final utterance, Joshua brings to life the world's created so masterfully here by Brian Lumley.
Each story comes alive, close your eyes and let Joshua's tones, intonation, diction and ease of narration take you to all the world's contained here.
You can see where Lumley was going with several of these tales, and here they are given birth and put forth into existence, here it is in the form of pure ear candy.
Necroscope may be his best known works, but it's these short stories that we see/hear the genesis of all that has come forth since.
Kick back, have a glass of wine, dim the lights and hit play. 7+ hours will melt away as if you are transported along the Mobius strip yourself.
Joshua has done it again, with a voice that soothes, terrifies, and has a delicious touch of TIM CURRY!
Which makes his rendition all the better!
Kudos Joshua....cannot wait to see and hear what Master Lumley and Silky have in store for you to immortalize in the future!"
