"I see that you think I took a liberty, and I did. But that's nothing. That isn't the point. How I do keep beating about the bush! Mrs. Rock says it was a great deal worse to tell where it happened, for that would give the place the reputation of being haunted and nobody could ever live there afterwards, for they couldn't keep servants, even if they didn't have the creeps themselves, and it would ruin the property."

Questionable Shapes
My earl 2018 "Pulp-revisited-athon" continues!
Vol 1 of Lumley's Tales of the Primal Land was a clear homage (although definitely its own thing) to Clark Asgton Smith's Hyperborea and Zothique. Vol 2 is set in the same land, but is has more of an Arabian Nights meets Howard's Kull (definitely Kull, with its dreamy quality, not Conan). It is a novel
of interlinked short-stories following the titular character on a journey across the continent. Unlike the aforementioned Kull, Tarra Khash is not particularly introspective, and frankly a titch dense, which is played to comedic affect.
Overall, this was a really fun read, and as the Mythos doesn't intrude quite so heavily, the dreamy, heroic (as opposed to horrific) quality to the stories works far better here than it did in Lumley's other Cthuluhoid adventures, IMO.
