    OshKosh B’Gosh!

    Or even P’tang, Yang, Kipperbang!

    “Oh, I never have problems opening beer bottles. A bit of trouble drinking out of them, mind you.”

  3. Tom Noir Says:

    When will this novel be released in English?

  4. Joachim Says:

    Umm, I think this monster-guy is freaky and sort of cool….

    Except for his sort of emaciated old man chest.

  5. drlemaster Says:

    I figured the title must be an anagram for something. The best I could find was:

    A shark? Oh, shark tsar!

  6. fred Says:

    The single least impressive crown in the history of least impressive crowns. And it looks like it has got that Scaramanga multiple nipple thing as well.

  7. L.B. Says:

    Is this Klingon fiction translated into English?

  8. Sneaky Burrito Says:

    Is that creature blending into/encased into the goo on the wall? Maybe the goo is causing the creature to disintegrate (not sure what’s going on below the waist, maybe I don’t want to know…).

  9. Kwyjor Says:

    Clearly, the book is *titled* Brian Lumley and *authored* by a Ms. Khash-Hrossak.

  10. Adam Roberts Says:

    @5 drlemaster If ever I became a Russian gangster (unlikely, I concede) then I would want to be known as ‘The Shark Czar’.

  11. Adam Roberts Says:

    Also: I move you introduce a ‘Hrossak!’ tag. It’s sorely missing.

  12. Rachel J Says:

    Anyone actually *succeeded* in saying the title out loud yet?

    According to my investigations, Mr Tarra Khash– Hrossak! is the main character. Poor chap.

  13. AA Says:

    It’s like coughing up a hairball.

  14. A.R.Yngve Says:

    Can you imagine people messing with the author at book signings and conventions?

    “Mr. Lumley, what was the new title of your new book?”

    “Tarra Khash – Hrossak!”

    “Say what?”

    “Tarra Khash – Hrossak!”

    “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch all of…”

    “Tarra Khash – Hrossak!! *COUGH* Why do you keep asking *COUGH* about that title??”

    “Oh, just to see how long your voice will last…” [ducks blow]

  15. Anti-Sceptic Says:

    Is the monster wearing a princess crown?

  16. Tat Wood Says:

    It’s just dawned on me that the colon makes it seem like a US TV series. Name, colon, job-description, as in ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ or ‘Walker: Texas Ranger’. But then there’s an exclamation-mark, like a 60s musical. So the point seems to be that Tarra Khash is the very last person you would expect to become a Hrossak and that this is a surprise to the expected readership. Is this the case? Google didn’t enlighten me much.

    OK, this one has been bugging me for a while.

    HARK! SHARK ASS TORAH
    OH, HARASS SHARK KART
    HAH! SHARKS ROAST ARK
    OKRA SKA: HARSH TRASH
    SHA’S OKRA RATS HARK
    HATH SHARKS SKA ROAR?
    SARA SHARK ROT: HARSH!

    See? It’s all pretty much the same.
