Three long stories from Brian Lumley featuring Harry Keogh, the original Necroscope! Never before published in the US. Harry Keogh, the first Necroscope, is arguably Brian Lumley's greatest creation. In the Necroscope series, readers saw Harry learn to use his powers to talk with the dead and travel instantaneously to any point in space and time. They saw him take arms against the evil, twisted, alien vampires who sought to feed off humans and enslave mankind. They saw him suffer a great personal loss and later recover his humanity through a new love. And they saw Harry wage the grimmest battle of his life-against the vampire he himself was becoming!Even after Harry's story was done, Brian Lumley continued to write books about Harry's legacy-the other Necroscopes who inherited his weird talents. But Harry himself would not go quietly into that darkness that lies beyond an author's imagination . . . and now Brian Lumley has written three new long short stories about Harry and his supernatural adventures.

British Fantasy Award-winner Brian Lumley is perhaps best known for his bestselling Necroscope series-but he is a critically-acclaimed master of Lovecraftian horror, a renowned creator of spine-tingling tales of the Elder Gods, their minions, and the brave heroes who battle their deadly evil.Now available in trade paperback, The House of Cthulhu brings readers an exciting new world to discover and explore. The island continent of Theem'hdra, rimmed by oceans that teem with terrible creatures of the deep, with mountain ranges that were once home to ancient races and now are home to monsters, with fabulous Lost Cities and teeming trade centers where anything-or anyone-can be bought and sold . . . this is the Primal Land.

In modern England, Khai searches for the reincarnated souls of his lover and his betrayer. Khai is amazed by the modern world-television, air conditioning, and especially guns, bombs, and other weapons. Returned to his own time, Khai uses the technologies he saw in the future to rewrite the past. But can he and Ashtarta prevent Khasathut from attaining immortality and using newly-gained alien powers to destroy all of Khem and Kush?Like the Necroscope novels, Khai of Khem is packed with fast-paced action, hair's-breadth escapes, all-consuming love, endless horror, and, in the person of Khai himself, quick wits and bravery in the teeth of danger.

But Thomas Schroeder has a secret. He is dying and determined not to lose his life. The doctors tell him his body cannot be saved. But about his mind?

More of the Earth under his dominion.Richard Garrison must battle Gubwa in the Psychosphere and on Earth.
