Science Fiction Horror Anthology

Brian Lumley's Cthulhu Mythos writings began in the 1960s when he was included in new collections by August Derleth's Arkham House. While today, the author is probably better-known for his Necroscope and Psychomech series, he has continued with his Mythos stories for over 40 years. This volume spans that career, using Derleth's suggestion that the Mythos monsters could be viewed as "Elementals", and includes a new novella-length story.

From the vaults of the British Library comes a new anthology celebrating the best works of forgotten, never-since-republished supernatural fiction from the early 20th century. Waiting within are malevolent spirits eager to possess the living and mysterious spectral guardians - a diverse host of phantoms exhumed from the rare pages of literary magazines and newspaper serials to thrill once more.

The Caller of the Black is Brian Lumley's first published collection of stories, with many of them involving the Cthulhu Mythos.

So why then do we turn the page? We’re about to find out.

His own ancestry and life very nearly the stuff of novels, it is no wonder Russian writer, philosopher, musical scholar, and politician Vladimir Odoyevsky had left behind an endlessly varied, fascinating, and captivating body of work.

Each story—and two poems—feature mythical, mystical, and otherwise unexplainable beings that change the course of history.

We can only wonder if he ever imagined the impact his creation would have on not only the horror world, but across the globe.
