About this listen

Now available for the first time in audiobook format, Necroscope III: The Source is the third installment in the Necroscope® series by horror master Brian Lumley. This story traces the battle between Harry Keogh and the horrifying Vamphyri on their home ground, an alien landscape of looming towers, impossible cliffs, and ravenous vampire-beasts.

Russia's Ural Mountains hide a deadly secret: a supernatural portal to the country of the vampires. Soviet scientists and ESP-powered spies, in a secret military base, study the portal--and the powerfully evil creatures that emerge from it, intent on ravaging mankind.

When Jazz Simmons, a British agent sent to infiltrate the base, is captured by the KGB espionage squad and forced through the portal, his last message tells Harry Keogh, the Necroscope, that the vampires are preparing for a mass invasion.

Harry has only one option--to strike first. He must carry the human-vampire war to the vampire's own lands. But his strongest psychic power will be useless there. What good is the power to summon the dead in a country where nothing ever dies, where every man, woman, and child become half-dead servants of the Vamphyri?

Critic reviews

“One of the best writers in the field.” —John Farris

“Lumley's strength is in his jovial voice, a diction that dominates the narrative. Lumley's love of his pulp-horror subjects is gleefully apparent. He revels in every telling detail, in stories-within-stories....” —San Francisco Chronicle

“Lumley never oversteps the delicate line between blood-chilling horror and cold gruel. An accomplished wordsmith, Lumley wields a pen with the deft skill of a surgeon, drawing just enough blood to titillate without offending his readers.” —The Phoenix Gazette

The Necroscope series is fact becoming one of my favourite audiobook experiences. Not only is it my favourite of Lumley's various series but it's narrated beautifully. Whenever I imagine any of the characters it's James Langton's performance I hear.

These are absolutely superb and I recommend them to fans of lovecraftian horror and anyone who wants an original and rich take on the vampire mythos rooted in a good understanding. Please Macmillan and Audible - get Langton back in the studio asap and get this whole series out and available. A Necroscope revival is long overdue.

Superb - now let's get the whole series!

Having reread these books numerous times over the years, I was a bit reluctant to buy the audiobook, but I was pleasantly surprised.

The accents, tone, speed and tension building were all excellently done.

I've bought the first 3 audiobooks in this series and I hope to God he goes on to narrate the vampire worlds and the lost years.

A true professional and a great tribute to the greatest horror writer of all time.

Masterfully done

Great book, which pulls the series back into interest after the slump of pt. 2. There's a lot of action, excitement, and horrible creatures, bust also space for a bit of romance. Loved it all the way through.

Up and running again
