Book Reviews of Necroscope

Book Review: A macabre classic of true vampire fiction
Summary: 5 Stars

This was, unsurprisingly, my first exposure to Brian Lumley. I'd read relatively little vampire fiction before, although I'm a huge fan of vampires and aspire to write vampire fiction myself. I have to say that I am impressed to say the very least: Lumley's story is unbelievably dense but powerful and intricate. It's "heavy-weight" macabre fiction and I'd heartily endorse it for fans of Lovecraft (Lumley's most-acknowledged literary predecessor) as well as Richard Matheson, another personal favorite, with one caution: this book is incredibly long and dense. The plot is very deep and Lumley paces it very well, but it is a much longer work. The perfect antidote, I might add, to the light, poppy, romance-and/or-erotica-oriented fiction that proliferates to the point of cluttering the genre (I won't name names, the labels are damning enough). Lumley is a real master of genuine dark, brooding, morbid vampire tales that follow the bloody trail blazed for us all by the immortal Bram Stoker. Necroscope is a hell-ride into the perverse that all fans of truly horror-oriented vampire fiction shouldn't miss.

Summary of Necroscope

Except to Harry Keogh, Necroscope. And what they tell him is horrifying.

In the Balkan mountains of Rumania, a terrible evil is growing. Long buried in hallowed ground, bound by earth and silver, the master vampire schemes and plots. Trapped in unlife, neither dead nor living, Thibor Ferenczy hungers for freedom and revenge.

The vampire's human tool is Boris Dragosani, part of a super-secret Soviet spy agency. Dragosani is an avid pupil, eager to plumb the depthless evil of the vampire's mind. Ferenczy teaches Dragosani the awful skills of the necromancer, gives him the ability to rip secrets from the mind and bodies of the dead.

Dragosani works not for Ferenczy's freedom but world domination. he will rule the world with knowledge raped from the dead.

His only opponent: Harry Koegh, champion of the dead and the living.

To protect Harry, the dead will do anything--even rise from their graves!

Lumley, Brian Books
