The Burrowers Beneath by Brian Lumley5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() Not necessarily ‘the ghouls are stealing the wifi’ normal but the Mythos being a regular part of the world, not something that drives you insane. ![]() ![]() I also think of it as the normalization of the Mythos. So actual Lovecraft works like The Dunwich Horror count. That is basically defined as ‘humans can win’. Lumley is allegedly controversial because he fully embraced the Lovecraft Lite style. He was writing before the Mythos went mainstream so he kept the fire going. But I have seen his short stories in different anthologies. I couldn’t find any of his books until digital publishing brought them back. I’m honestly not sure Lumley is obscure or not as far as Mythos writers are concerned. Now, I finally have read The Burrowers Beneath by Brian Lumley. A long time back, possibly when life was still crawling out of the ocean and the Elder Things still thought Shogoths were a good alternative to bulldozers, I first saw the entry in the Call of Cthulhu RPG entry for Cthonians and Shudde M’ell. ![]()
