      Book Overview

      Eldritch horror meets international espionage as a bloodthirsty vampire attempts to conquer humanity in Brian Lumley's Necroscope, the first volume in a powerful series that enthralled millions of readers. Since childhood, Harry Keogh has been able to hear and speak to dead people. The dead have been his friends, his counselors, his inspiration. Through Harry, dead composers and writers reach new audiences; dead inventors see their creations come to life. Mathematician August Mobius, dead for more than a century, teaches Harry how to fold space and time, to travel anywhere and anywhen. Seeking revenge after his beloved mother is murdered by a psychic--and psychotic--Russian spy, Harry is recruited by Britain's super-secret, psychically-powered spy organization, E-Branch. The head of Russia's ESPionage "firm" is Boris Dragosani. Like Harry, Boris can hear the dead...but only when he is mutilating their corpses. Seeking power, Boris has made a pact with an undead Thing, long buried in the mountains of Romania; they intend to conquer the West with an army of demonic warriors. Harry Keogh and an army of the dead stand in their way. The battle will be epic. Necroscope, a finalist for the British Fantasy Award, is the first volume in a powerful series that has enthralled millions of readers with its very different look at vampires and vampire hunters, at the dead and the living and the worlds they share. Praise for the Necroscope(R) series: "An original take on the vampire story, full of atmosphere, totally unpredictable." --Fantasy Literature "Lumley's lively mix of action and monstrosity turns] the vampire into a wonderfully contemporary bane." --Fear This description may be from another edition of this product.

      The Necroscope series

      By Alana, Verified Purchase

      The Necroscope series are my favorite vampire books as they are not written in the usual sense of vampires from Pennsylvania but instead travel beyond your thoughts of what the world is like and takes you to an alternate universe where the vampires can and do have their own talents and create their bodies in their own view. They also create their own "monsters" that they use for various reasons.

      Brian Lumley Brings Horror to a Refreshing New Level

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Harry Keogh tells the story of his first battle with the mysterious Wamphyri, an undead race also called vampires, and how he came to be a renowned ESP agent for the British, almost... Brian Lumley relays this tale with such a vivid imagination and an unformulaic style that he actually veers into a science fiction sub-genre without any visible seams in the plot. Highly recommended for horror fans looking for something more...

      Horror Classic

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Its been three years since I bought NECROSCOPE and I still can't find any horror series even remotely as good. The first installment of the series plunges us into a world of cold war, secret goverment agencies, western and eastern block, intriguing characters and a race of vampires that is so impressive and so unlike anything I've ever seen that I can't even being to explain them. I wont waste any more words so I'll just...

      I love Necroscope

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      I'm not sure where to begin praising the Necroscope series. Let me try to break things down scientifically...1. Brian Lumley's writing style is... unique. He truly shines during this series, but... buyer beware. He has a quirky style to say the least. Don't look for characters who mirror real-life. They don't. Don't look for his "pseudo-science" to make too much sense... it doesn't. But the rewards far outweigh any suspension...

      First of only three good books in the series.

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      People need to know some things about Brian Lumley's writing in general, and this series in particular.My firm belief is that the idea had gone as far as it should have with the first three books. Of the subsequent novels, there's perhaps two good novels of material spread over about six books, more or less.My advice is to get the first three, and then buy used copies of any others. After awhile, Lumley's egregious use of...
