SUMMARY: THE TRANSITION OF TITUS CROW: Continues the exploits of Titus Crow, chronicled in the Burrowers Beneath (-30-6). "Transition" is second in Lumley's "Cthulhu Mythos" series: five novels originally published in paperback in the seventies, plus the concluding novel. Elysia: the coming of Cthulhu. (HC, - 33-0)** When this project is completed, all six will be available in first edition hard covers. (See THE COMPLEAT CROW (HC, - 22-5)** for associated shorter fiction). Employing some of the characters & locales invented by H. P. Lovecraft, Lumley creates horror-fantasy & adventure stories (with science-fiction overtones), as humans seek the Elder Gods & dare to battle the maligned "Old Ones." These powerful entitites from another universe were imprisoned by the mysterious Elder Gods after a titanic battle aeons ago. But their leader, Great Cthulhu, plots not only to escape but to destroy earth & ravage Elysia, mysterious & hidden place where dwell the Elder Gods. And some have escaped already. Occultists Titus Crow, de Marigny. & others attempt to forestall them if possible. (**Also available in trade paper. Check the author's listing for similar books.)
