Synopsis
"He was tall and broad-shouldered, and it was plain to see that in his younger days he had been a handsome man. Now...his hair had greyed a little, and his eyes, though still very bright and observant, bore the imprint of many a year spent exploring—and often, I guessed, discovering—along rarely trodden paths of mysterious, obscure learning." Mysterious, obscure learning… To many thousands of readers world-wide Titus Crow is the psychic sleuth—the cosmic voyager and investigator—of Brian Lumley's Cthulhu Mythos novels, from The Burrowers Beneath to Elysia. But before The Burrowers and Crow's Transition, his exploits were chronicled in a series of short stories and novellas uncollected in the USA except in limited editions. Now these stories can be told again. From Inception which tells of Crow's origins, to The Black Recalled, a tale of vengeance from beyond the grave, here in one volume, from the best-selling author of the epic Necroscope series, is The Complete Crow. Stories included in this collection: Inception Lord of the Worms The Caller of the Black The Viking's Stone The Mirror of Nitocris An Item of Supporting Evidence Billy's Oak Darghud's Doll De Marigny's Clock Name and Number The Black Recalled
