Brian Lumley’s Tales of the Primal Land is a four-book fiction series rooted in Cthulhu Mythos-inspired fantasy. The House of Cthulhu (1984) kicked things off, and then the remaining three books all appeared in 1991: Tarra Khash, Tarra Khash: Hrossak!, and Sorcery in Shad. The recurring character of Tarra Khash ties much of the series together, giving it a sword-and-sorcery feel set against a backdrop of ancient, alien horror.
Readers who enjoy Lumley’s particular blend of dark fantasy and Lovecraftian lore will find this series worth reading in order. The gap between the first and second books does not cause any continuity problems, and the three 1991 entries follow naturally from the groundwork laid in The House of Cthulhu.
