It's still horror fiction but I'd argue they owe more to the lighter-softer fair of The Dunwich Horror and The Strange Case of Charles Dexter Ward than The Unnameable. Lovecraft's world is distinctly his own and manifestly not cosmic horror. Despite this, Brian Lumley's version of H.P. These are by no means "new" works of Cthulhu Mythos fiction but I think they qualify as one of the more definitive works on the subject. In short, this will be, by no means, an unbiased review. He's also the guy I owe my desire to write my own Cthulhu Mythos fiction to. Thanks to Brian Lumley, I picked up the original works by H.P. While The Real Ghostbusters' episode "The Collect Call of Cathulhu" was the first Mythos-related fiction I was ever exposed to at the tender age of seven, it was Titus Crow I picked up in my college town's library which created my love of Lovecraft's mythology. Brian Lumley's Titus Crow is a series I owe an immense debt to.
