It was an enjoyable story, and a good continuation from his previous book. However, I kind of felt that the reader Henry’s enjoying an acid trip by the writer.

Good..but…

The Transition of Titus Crow is a fascinating follow-up to the Burrowers Beneath but not one which is without controversy. Brian Lumley takes the titular character and sends him on a 70s psychadelic trip across the multiverse in a time-travelling coffin which effectively turns the entire thing into Doctor Who meets Lovecraft. This the kind of story where the protagonist becomes a cyborg, journeys to science fiction heaven, outwits Yog-Sothoth, and talks with Cthulhu's benevolent brother. It's a crazy-crazy book and I'm very glad to have read it but it's not without flaws. Even so, Simon Vance does an amazing job here and I recommend people pick it up. Just don't expect a traditional Lovecraft tale.

Even better than the regular book

Not as good as the first. At points seem lazy. A lot of pointless filler.

This book is very different than The Burrowers Beneath, holding more in common with Lovecraft works like The Silver Key and Beyond the Wall of sleep than At the Mountains of Madness or Dreams in the Witch House, with less horror and more strangeness, but some might enjoy that much more than I.

The definition of “trippy.”

There was no real horror nor madness to this story. It was a protracted explanation of what Cthulhu and company are and it fell flat. Even the “time clock “ was disappointing as it appeared to be derivative of Doctor Who. Disappointed with this one

Not sure what I just heard

why Mr. Lumley decided to do the whole ellipsis crap I'll never understand. It's extremely annoying. I love the Titua Crow books but Transition doesn't work well for an audiobook.

Annoying

good read, I never want to hear the word Ellipsis for a while. highly recommend not missing much when you listen to it.

nice continuation

This story felt like it was more of a Dr. Who adventure, than something found in the Lovecraft circles. Which would be fine, but I came in expecting horror. Any horror or eldrich storytelling felt rushed through.

Wasn't horror really..

it's been a while since I read this book and it is a great story my only complaint is there's a lot of jumping around and missing pieces if you're familiar with Brian lumley's necroscope hear me when I say this and hear me well we should have had a lost years for Titus Crow as well.

Ellipses
