Brian Lumley
Acerca de esta escucha
Prior to the first American publication of Brian Lumley's ground-breaking, dead waking, best-selling Necroscope in 1988 - the first novel in a long-lived, much-loved series - this British author had for 20 years been earning an envious reputation writing short stories, novellas, and a series of novels set against H. P. Lovecraft's cosmic Cthulhu Mythos backdrop. In addition, and for a further 20 years, Lumley's non-Mythos fantasy, SF, and horror stories have been appearing on a regular basis in some of the world's most famous publications; for example The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and Weird Tales, along with anthologies such as Karl Edward Wagner's Year's Best Horror Stories, Charles L. Grant's Final Shadows, and Kirby McCauley's Frights, among others.
With his multiple-award-winning literary career now spanning over four decades, Lumley continues to write his superior fictions, examples of which from each of those decades can be found in this current collection, where weird tales itself is represented by no less than five stories!
And so, to complete a trilogy of volumes begun with the Lovecraft-inspired The Taint and Other Novellas, and followed by Haggopian and Other Stories, Subterranean Press is now proud to offer No Sharks in the Med and Other Stories, a handpicked collection of Brian Lumley s best macabre tales.

Building on translations begun by the scholar Thelred Gustau—who vanished under mysterious, some say magical, circumstances—Brian Lumley brings the saga of the Primal Land to audiences of today. Here, the wizard Mylarkhrion—most powerful of the terrible magicians who walked the earth in those long-ago days—battles sorcerers jealous of his knowledge, power, and wealth.

The Necronomicon was not the first book by H.P. Lovecraft to terrify readers with tales of dark and twisted horrors from beyond. No, the Al-Azif, or Book of the Insect, is the first work that told mankind of Cthulhu, Azathoth, and other terrors. Indeed, it was the book that inspired "The Mad Arab" Abdul Al-Hazred to write its more famous successor.

The Cthulhu Mythos is one of the 20th century's most singularly recognizable literary creations. Initially created by H. P. Lovecraft and a group of his amorphous contemporaries (the so-called "Lovecraft Circle"), The Cthulhu Mythos story cycle has taken on a convoluted, cyclopean life of its own. Some of the most prodigious writers of the 20th century, and some of the most astounding writers of the 21st century have planted their seeds in this fertile soil. The Book of Cthulhu harvests the weirdest and most corpulent crop of these modern mythos tales.

De: Brian Lumley
Fruiting Bodies 4/5 This was a very interesting story; I just had a hard time getting into the beginning of it.
The Sun, the Sea, and the Screaming 5/5 This was a very disturbing and made-you-feel-itchy kind of story. Question: why would they kill the fish when they were told not to eat them?
The Picnickers 5/5 I’ve listened to this one in “Cover of Vampires” and still loved it!
The Viaduct 5/5 There was so much tension in this story!
The Last Stone 5/5 The love stone part sounded familiar to me. I might have read or listened to another story that had similarities to the love stone idea, but… I don’t know what it was about the following line, but the fact Mr. Saxon said it so nonchalantly, yeah… it just went really well with how Mr. Lumley wrote the character: “Betting on the races was one of his hobbies, another of his hobbies was rape.”
The Whisperer 4/5 This was a good story until the final few minutes when the main character had the realization or whatever you want to call it and knew who the stinky, little man was. It went over my head! I couldn’t figure out who he was. AHHH!!!
No Sharks in the Med 5/5 Overall, I loved this story but didn’t understand why the main characters would have gone anywhere with Spiros(?) after all the red flags and weirdness that surrounded him. There were also some lines in this story that stood out to me in a negative way. It really made me want to see the actual writing because I swear there were tense issues (past/present) and just questionable phrasing. For example: “Spiros must release Gwen to keep his balance.” Or “Breathing heavily, Jeff and Gwen tried to catch up. Failed miserable.”
The Pit Raker 3/5 I just couldn’t get into this story.
The Place of Waiting 5/5
The Man Who Killed Hugh Gardens 5/5 This was such an easy to imagine, yet very creepy story!
My Thing Friday 5/5, American accent A+ The way Mr. Saxon narrated this was different but went so well with what the character was going through. It reminded me of Matt Damon and his recordings from The Martian.
The Disapproval of Jeremy Cleve 5/5
I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
Loved this collection!

Well as some I hadn’t yet read or heard. Fruiting bodies was always one of my favorites as was the whisperer. The kind of Lumley can be a truly dark and twisted place. Come in and enjoy it, must bring your own lightsourse. Don’t advise listening to on a dark stormy night unless you like nightmares. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

Yep. Quite a collection of stories and themes. Well done. Solid 4 Amazon/Audible Stars

The two things they all have in common is brilliant characterization and a high creep-out factor.
Joshua Saxon offers brilliant audio narration that sets the tone of each story wonderfully. As with his previous work, his one weakness is that the female voices are left somewhat wanting, though to be fair that is a fairly common problem.
Elsewise, his voices are varied and distinct and brilliantly crafted. His accents are damned impressive. So much so that, in the one story where he drops the British accent in favor of the American, I almost wondered if it had switched to a different narrator!
His vocal inflections are excellent and his tempo shifts, while subtle, are very effective.
As is my wont, I'll forgo a discussion of what each story is about. I'm sure you can find other reviews that do this.
First, as was the standard at the time these were written, most of these stories start off rather slowly while providing a lot of excellent characterization to help get to know the characters.
There are a couple of exceptions, but most of the stories are told in first person POV, which I'm not normally fond of. But here it works exceptionally well with the subject matter.
Each character throughout the stories has a unique personality and view of the world that makes their voice compelling and interesting to read.
Similarly, each of the stories deals with its macabre subject in a different way that keeps them fun and engaging.
Although most occur in a world that feels much like the real world, there are a couple of exceptions, such as in "My Thing Friday" which takes place on an alien world.
The world building in these instances is every bit as intricate as the character building and I couldn't help but be fascinated by them.
Apart from things you have to expect in stories that were written in decades past, my only real complaint is there are one or two stories that were a touch predictable.
Most of the stories end in a twist, or at least a shock. And in the main, those shocks and twists are pulled off very well.
If you enjoy Lumley's style, or are simply a fan of short horror fiction in general, you can't go wrong with this collection.
Interesting and not a little disturbing

This is another great collection of Lumley's short stories. He continues to impress me with his superb writing and imagination. My favorite was the one about the waiting places. sorry, i tried to go back to find the name of it but i got aggravated before i discovered it.
Joshua Saxton narrates this and he is quickly becoming one of my top 5 favorite readers. He does a wide range of accents and each one is flawless. I enjoying listening to him very much.

This isn't his Vampire or Lovecraft stuff although there is a reference to Lovecraft in one of the stories. Give it a shot if you like well written scary stuff.
I particularly liked the narration by Joshua Saxon. He handled a variety of accents well and narrated with style and in a non distracting way. I'll be looking for more books that he's narrated.
