The Dulwich Horror & Others
by David Hambling
nspired
by the Cthulhu Mythos of H. P. Lovecraft, this stylish new collection
of adventure stories fizzes with wit and invention. They can be enjoyed
separately, but read them in one sitting and the pieces fit horribly
together into a larger and more terrible nightmare.
†
These tales constitute David Hambling’s initial foray into the realm
of Lovecraftian fiction. The fertility of imagination, the crisp
character delineations, and the smooth-flowing prose that we find in
these seven tales leave us wishing for more of the same, and Hambling
will no doubt oblige in the coming years. For now, we can sit back and
relish a brace of stories that not only evoke the shade of the dreamer
from Providence, but which that dreamer himself would have enjoyed to
the full.
