Publisher: Tor/Forge Format: Hardcover Length: 256 pages Publisher Description: "British Fantasy Award–winner Lumley pays homage to Robert E. Howard's Conan in the six fantasy tales of his second Primal Land collection (after 2005's The House of Cthulhu)." --Publishers Weekly Classic Lovecraftian horror from one of the masters of the form, British Fantasy Award-winner Brian Lumley. Tarra Khash is a Hrossak, a barbarian from the steppes beyond the River Luhr. A fearless adventurer, Tarra roves Theem-hdra in search of his next fortune, his next drink, and warm, willing females to share his bed. The Hrossak is a most fortunate man, for he has faced more than one god during his travels, and so far escaped unscathed . . . . Seeking to avenge the murder of a beautiful young woman of the half-mystical Suhm-yi, Tarra joins forces with her husband, now the last of his kind. Each worships a moon-god, and together, their faith and Tarra’s weapons wreak a terrible vengeance on those who stole the treasure of the Suhm-yi and destroyed that noble race. Eager for wealth, Tarra is trapped by a wily old man who has lured him into plumbing the depths of a treasure-filled cavern guarded by golden statues of the Great God Cthulhu. Cthulhu’s treasure is not easily plundered, and Tarra nearly loses his life to the monstrous forces of the Elder God. Many men have met the lamia Orbiquita, but none have lived to tell of her extraordinary powers of love-making—until Tarra Khash, who treats her as a woman wants to be treated and so earns her forgiveness and his life. Alas, others who assume her to be weakened by love for Tarra Khash are not so lucky! "Since reading Lumley's "Necroscope" series, I know that vampires really do exist!" -—H. R. Giger "Lumley excels at depicting heroes larger than life and horrors worse than death." --Publishers Weekly "Lumley is obviously very bright, articulate, and in possession of an incredibly wild imagination." --Rapport "I'm impressed with Lumley's talent. He's obviously one of the best writers in the field." --John Farris Availability: Usually ships within 2-3 business days. Retail price: $24.95 |
