Rendition Supposing Books Necroscope (Necroscope #1)
DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES...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!

When I first started this one, I wasn't sure it my kind of book. Very gory, and bloody right in the first couple of chapters. But, it does have a unique story, and some scary, suspense filled moments.I was more interested in Harry, and found too much time being spent on other sinister characters. This book is a classic for sure and nothing at all like any other vampire novel you will read. This one would transfer very nicely to graphic novel and would also make a good movie. There are otherBrian Lumley is one of my all time favorite authors, and the entire Necroscope series is in my top five of the best books ever written. When I first started reading these books, years ago, I was blown away by the concept of the thing. The best thing of all was a take on vampires that scared the ever loving crap out of me. I thought I had read about scary vampires before, but the Wamphyri were a whole new level of scary. I've read this particular book at least 15 times and at 51 years of age, I
2.5I'm really undecided about this book. It wasn't bad, but it didn't grip me... Where to start? It was a bit slow off the bat. I was reading about the Russian ESPers and sort of wondering where everything was going, and when the actual story was going to get set-up. Looking back I suppose it was getting set up at the time, but it didn't feel like it.Then we got to Harry, and I was much more interested. For awhile, I dreaded the parts where we went back to Dragosani. Ok, not dreaded, but I

My husband has been on a H.P. Lovecraft kick lately. He's reading everything, including stories by authors who have been influenced by 'The Master'. He reads the intro's to me for some of these short stories, especially when he sees something by an author he knows I've read. Such was the case with Brian Lumley. I have copies of my Necroscope books on my shelves, I read them when they first came out and enjoyed them so much I've kept intending to re-read them. (Yes, I was a middle and high school
This one was..complicated. I finally got around to reading it after putting it off for a while, and I did enjoy it. However, it wasn't really what I expected and it did have its flaws.First off, I think it's a little too lengthy. 100-200 pages could have been cut and it would have been a stronger, tighter story. The story is set during the Cold War, and we see Britain and Russia both utilizing ESP agents, as in agents with some type of mental power. Our two main characters are a necromancer, who
Gosh, what an exciting read. Set in the times of cold war (1976) you see the development of two different characters, Harry Keogh (west) and Boris Dragosani (east) with all the ingredients of a spectacular spy story. Keogh has the talent of speaking with the dead (necroscope) and Dragosani is a necromancer. Who will win at the end? Dragosani often travels to Romania to meet a long buried evil there. It is the real myth behind Dracula (incredibly compelling background story) he encounters.
This series is the reason I became a horror writer. Best vampire novels of all time.
