P. Lovecraft provides inspiration for much of Lumley's work, including \"Dagon's Bell\" and \"Big C,\" both included here. The explosive creation of a new volcanic island off Iceland in 1967 led to \"Rising with Surtsey,\" an homage not just to Lovecraft but to the great August Derleth. \"David's Worm\"-which takes an interesting view of \"you are what you eat\"-was published in a Year's Best Horror Stories and later adapted for radio in Europe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe collection also includes the macabre \"The Second Wish,\" published here for the first time with the author's original, intended ending, and \"The Fairground Horror,\" first published in The Disciples of Cthulhu twenty-five years ago and not seen since save for a small press edition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe title tale, Beneath the Moors, a complete short novel, has been unavailable in the US since its first publication by Arkham House in the early 1970s.
