Summary
An instant classic, Brian Lumley's astonishing feat of imagination spawned a universe that Lumley has explored and expanded through more than a baker's dozen 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, Necroscope has 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.
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 of humanity.

pulpy fun
if you like the Hellsing anime, you're in for some fun by the end. starts slowly though, so if you don't want the full life story (including conception) for both main characters, maybe pass it by

My favourite vampire saga
I read these books when they first came out in the late 80s and they are awesome, true horror with a sci-fi/Cold War setting
So happy to have them now on audio

Excellent adaption of Lumleys classic.
The best reimagining of the vampire myth in a very long time. The added spice of espionage and the cold War creates a story full of suspense and terror.

Wamphyri good.
I read this series of books around 20 years ago and loved them. From the art to the stories I was captivated. Older now I revisit them. are they as good? Not quite. It might be because I'm older now or just the age of the stories themselves. They definitely feel quite cheesy now but nonetheless still enjoyable and definitely one of the more unique takes on vampirism.
For the performance of the narrator, I wasn't too sure at first, his voice seemed too light, more suited to comedy than something so dark. His lightness aside, his range of male voices was excellent putting in a superb performance. As many others would, he definitely struggled when it came to his female voices.
This is a long story, probably longer than it really needs to be but it should hold you to the end. I always found the later books much better. Stick with it though and you'll likely become a lifelong fan as well.

Never judge a book by it's cover
Never judge a book by it's cover ... However, the cover artwork for these books blew me away and I proceeded to read about 15 of the books back to back when I was a teenager. The audiobook is well narrated and the stories are fantastic

Fantastic!
I bought this book as a teen (years ago) on holiday and couldn't put it down, and even purchased the next in the series whilst on holiday. - Can't remember where we went, never saw much besides what I was reading! So good I had to listen to the audiobook years later. Excellent work Mr. Lumley! ;)
