Brian Lumley’s short fiction and novellas are collected in four works published between 1975 and 2004. Born of the Winds appeared first in 1975, followed by Name and Number in 1986 and Fruiting Bodies in 1988. The House of the Temple arrived much later in 2004, completing the set.
The gaps between titles are wide, and the four works are independent of one another, so there’s no obligation to read them in any particular order. The genre across all four is Horror, consistent with Lumley’s broader output, and titles like Fruiting Bodies and The House of the Temple give a sense of the unsettling territory covered.
