The Burrowers Beneath

IN THE GREAT TRADITION OF H.P. LOVECRAFT Were humans the first intelligent beings to make themselves masters of this world? Before men emerged from the primeval jungles, might not other beings have dominated this planet, utilized it, contacted the stars, and called Earth theirs? H.P. Lovecraft's answer was yes and his famous novels and stories have all been based on that frightening premise - that there are Older Ones who have a prior claim to Earth, that man is but a newcomer who has moved in only by virtue of the indifference of the world's original owners. Lovecraft's successors have carried on his terrifying concept. Brian Lumley, in THE BURROWERS BENEATH, has now seized the eerie torch lit by Lovecraft and Derleth, and fires us a new edge-of-the-seat science fiction horror novel of the investigators who dared disturb the hibernation of the world's real landlords.
