![]() Lumley seems to be an accomplished, even poetic writer, even conjuring connection to some of my favorite Pulp writers as I read, Necroscope on the whole is entirely too long. ![]() ![]() This book proved not to be a good read for me on more than one level. The book is essentially the origin story of both Harry and Dragosani and the conflict that will arise between Harry and those known as Vamphyri that I am assuming is at the core of the entire series. The crux of the story is there is an evil being that is wheedling its way back into existence by using Dragosani, a Soviet agent who also has the same abilities Harry does, called necromancy. The book is billed as focusing on one Harry Keogh, a rather adventurous individual who has the ability to essentially mine the memories and minds of the deceased and utilize information gathered in said way. Now that I’ve finally read it, I can say that I can now offer several reasons I didn’t finish it and likely won’t read the remainder of the series.įor those unfamiliar, Necroscope is the first in a series from Brian Lumley. Not really sure before why I didn’t, it always appealed to me when I’d see it in stores, something else would just win out over it. What I must reveal is that, while an avid reader at the time the series debuted and was initially popular, I did not read it until recently. The Harry Keogh/Necroscope books are somewhat legendary amongst readers of horror/occult type works. Published: originally 1986, Orb Edition 2008 ![]()
