Subject: Author Lists: Brian Lumley

This list almost certainly has several omissions (sorry gang).  The problem
is that Brian Lumley is a horror writer, and if you thought trying to
separate SF from main stream is bad, try separating SF from horror.  As a
result, the coverage of horror writers in my references is (at best)
spotty.  Anyone with corrections (Lovecraft fans in particular) is welcome
to submit them.

That being said, it's my understanding that much of Brian Lumley's stories
(his earlier work in particular) is in a Lovecraftian vein.  I've never
read any of his books myself.

I've read:

>        The Transition of Titus Crow [1975]
>    The Horror at Oakdeene [1977] [C]

The Burrowers Beneath contains a short story originally published in
_Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos_.

>From this limited exposure to Lumley's work, I'd say Lumley is a
hack who uses too many exclamation marks and learned to write by
reading too many bad '60s Marvel comic books.
