Brian Lumley
An instant classic, Brian Lumley's astonishing feat of imagination spawned a universe which Lumley has explored and expanded through more that a baker's dozen of novels and novellas.
Millions of copies of Necroscope and its successors are in print in a dozen languages throughout the world. Nominated for the British Fantasy Award, Necroscopehas inspired everything from comic books and graphic novels to sculptures and soundtracks.
This new edition of Necroscope uses the author's preferred text and includes a special introduction by Brian Lumley, telling how the Necroscope saga came to be. It also includes chapter ornaments by Hugo-Award-Winning artist Bob Eggleton, long identified with Lumley's blood-sucking monsters.
As a classic, Necroscope rightfully claims a place in the Orb trade paperback list, for scholars of the field and the dedicated Lumley collector. And also for all the people who have read more than one mass market copy of the book to tatters.
Harry Keogh is the man who can talk to the dead, the man for whom every grave willingly gives up its secrets, the one man who knows how to travel effortlessly through time and space to destroy the vampires that threaten all humanity.

I read Dracula last month. I won't bore you with explaining why I was utterly bored with it, actually finding myself yawning at parts. I only bring it up to say that when I read that book, I was looking for the type of feel this book gave me. A sense of evil that is timeless. Evil that has existed though out all the generations and still exists today. This book excited me in the way that I had hoped Dracula would. I could hear the ancient rasping voice of pure evil when the old Vampir spoke from his earthly tomb. I could actually feel the air grow chill. *This* is what I was seeking from the Count....Stoker did not deliver that feeling (for ME), but Lumley certainly did.
Here you have Boris Dragosani and his ability to tear apart the dead and learn their secrets...and then you throw in little Harry Keogh, who speaks for the dead, who the dead admire and, in fact, seek him out and what is there not to love! This same ability, two vastly different types of humans who can both speak to the dead, but displayed at two total different angles fascinated me.
It was also very interesting to have the KGB and other world intelligence agencies use all of these physic powers against one another. James Bond has entered a entirely new realm here. It's all so very believable. So how much does physic ability play in attaining intelligence from other counties? We all have heard of mediums being used behind closed doors to help track down killers, but what if these mediums were used AS THE killers? How true is the "evil eye"? What if one talked to the dead, not to reassure the living, but to learn of the dead's secrets...secrets that up until that point had been taken with them to the grave?
Parts of this book I felt were rich in detail and left me wanting even more...yet other parts I felt needed more detail and they, too, left me wanting more.....
I won't be going into any ancient forests in Romania anytime soon....that is one thing I know for sure.....

I love H.P. (Lovecraft 😉) and Lumley wrote some Mythos and this follows a parallel theme, whilst mixing with another long established Horror staple. I loved it and decided to "read" (well listen) again... Some things came back over 30 years, but well worth my re immersion into this world. I will keep these books on my shelves I think, along with my DAGON fanzines etc. Their "SPINES..☠😂 .SHUDDER !" look grotesque and fascinating still !
I hope you give this Tome a try... definitely different... it may change you perception of life... death... time... space... I DARE YOU ! 🤪👹☠
