by Brian Lumley (Author)
"Titus Crow" presents the first two novels in a striking horror-adventure tale inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Written in a classic style, The Burrowers Beneath and The Transition of Titus Crow chronicle the beginning of the adventures of Titus Crow. Crow battles the Elder Gods and their offspring wherever and whenever they rise to threaten mankind - on Earth, on other worlds, even on other planes of existence! The greatest of the Elder Gods, Cthulhu, and his dark minions are bent on ruling the earth - or destroying it. A few puny humans cannot possibly stand against these otherworldly evil gods, yet time after time, Titus Crow and his loyal followers defeat the monsters and drive them back into the dark from whence they came.
