Maybe Lumley lost me somewhere (or maybe he got lost himself). All I know is suddenly I was reading science fiction and fantasy instead of horror (not that I don&#8217;t like sci-fi and fantasy, but I was expecting the book to lean towards more horror). While reading  <i>The Transition of Titus Crow<\/i>, I kept waiting for the story to turn back to the CCD &#8211; it did so only vaguely.  The elements of <i>The Burrowers Beneath<\/i> that I liked was the distinct Holmesian mood of it and was looking forward to more of that. Sadly, I was disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>Suffice it to say, I didn&#8217;t read <i>The Clock of Dreams<\/i>.
