About The Nonesuch and Others (Unabridged)

Normally, when people seen Brian Lumley's byline on a book - especially one with the amazing jacket art of Bob Eggleton - the names of several colorful fictional characters spring to mind: heroes such as Harry Keogh, the eponymous Necroscope, or perhaps the occult investigator Titus Crow. While these may be the author's best-known heroes, however, they are only two of a large handful, which is why it may come as something of a surprise this time around to discover that the so-called hero of this current trilogy of tales...isn t! No, for this lesser-known character isn't so much a typical Lumley hero as an innocent bystander, who all too often seems to be standing by in the wrong place at the wrong time - a man in collision with various weird horrors, who can never state definitely that the things he experiences are real. After all, someone who sees a few too many pink elephants may question almost anything he experiences, right? So here he is - the neither hero nor anti-hero narrator of these stories - though, in The Nonesuch and Others , he's at least seen to be brave, if not actually heroic. However, when you've finished listening to this small trilogy, you might like to ask yourself this: Pitted against horrors like those in these stories, just how much of a hero would you be?
