About this listen

Prior to the first American publication of Brian Lumley's ground-breaking, dead waking, best-selling Necroscope in 1988 - the first novel in a long-lived, much-loved series - this British author had for 20 years been earning an envious reputation writing short stories, novellas, and a series of novels set against H. P. Lovecraft's cosmic Cthulhu Mythos backdrop. In addition, and for a further 20 years, Lumley's non-Mythos fantasy, SF, and horror stories have been appearing on a regular basis in some of the world's most famous publications; for example The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and Weird Tales, along with anthologies such as Karl Edward Wagner's Year's Best Horror Stories, Charles L. Grant's Final Shadows, and Kirby McCauley's Frights, among others.

With his multiple-award-winning literary career now spanning over four decades, Lumley continues to write his superior fictions, examples of which from each of those decades can be found in this current collection, where weird tales itself is represented by no less than five stories!

And so, to complete a trilogy of volumes begun with the Lovecraft-inspired The Taint and Other Novellas, and followed by Haggopian and Other Stories, Subterranean Press is now proud to offer No Sharks in the Med and Other Stories, a handpicked collection of Brian Lumley s best macabre tales.

Very poor narrator spoils the stories

The stories themselves are all right, but it’s hard to really enjoy them because of the narrator’s awful attempts at regional accents and frequent mispronunciations of common words. The supposed Scottish accent is actually offensive.

Great collection

This is a collection of non necroscope, non mythos stories (except 'The Picknickers' possibly) so be aware if your only previous experience of Lumley is in one of those categories. This collection is of fine, traditional horror stories. I have previously read half of these stories, listened to a couple more in other collections, but some were new to me, and all were good

The best story in this collection has to be 'The Luststone' (in my opinion) and 'The Picknickers' is one of my favourites from many years ago.

If you enjoy horror shorts then this is the one for you.

Strong Collection of Brian Lumley Horror Stories

While I don't think this collection is quite as strong as the previous two volumes (The Taint & Haggopian), it still features some high quality gems from Horror Grand Master Brian Lumley.
My personal standouts were The Whisperer, The Place of Waiting and My Thing Friday, but I found something to enjoy in all of the stories.

Joshua Saxon once again provides a riveting and atmospheric narration. He has quickly become one of my favourite audiobook narrators thanks to his outstanding work on the aforementioned collections. His performance on My Thing Friday in this book is absolutely outstanding.

You can't really go wrong with Brian Lumley. I recommend this to any of his fans and anyone interested in atmospheric horror.
