Book Description

Necroscope April 5, 2005
There's a maniacal murderer on the loose, brutally slaughtering young women with a ferocity that rivals that of vampires Harry Koegh has spent his life combatting. The Necroscope's been asked to solve the crimes...asked by the dead spirits of the madman's victims.

Harry cannot turn down a request from the dead...even if it costs him his soul. In the climactic battle with the vampires, mankind prevailed and purged the vampires from earth--thanks to Harry, his team of psychically-gifted spies, and Faethor Ferenczy, long-dead 'father' of the world's vampires, who betrayed his own kind.

But Harry's alliance with Faethor has a terrible cost--Harry's very humanity is under attack from the vampire evil coiled in his mind!


Editorial Reviews

Review

'Since reading Lumley's Necroscope series, I know that vampires really do exist.' H.R. Giger 'Like the vampires it so full-bloodedly portrays, Brian Lumley's Necroscope series just gets stronger. His lively mix of action and monstrosity transmutes the base cliche of the vampire and turns it into a wonderfully contemporary bane.' Fear Magazine --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep, Heavy, Satisfying., August 17, 2001
By 
Dr Andy Lange (Audubon, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Necroscope V: Deadspawn (Mass Market Paperback)
This fifth installment of the Necroscope series tackles the world of protagonist Harry Keogh in a much broader scope than ever before. I consider the previous volume, Deadspeak, as a warmup to this fine work of fiction. True to his Lovecraftian roots, Lumley challenges the reader to delve into areas of knowledge that defy men's minds to comprehend.

As the Necroscope battles foes both human and inhuman, his struggles remain primarily internal. Striving to find deeper meaning in the world around him, Harry seeks the true nature of the mysterious Mobius Continuum that has served him to well over the years. He learns new and terrible powers that blur the line between life and death itself!

Heartbreaking events abound in this conclusion to the original Necroscope 5-part series. Harry is saddened to learn that it was not his Necroscopic abilities that made him unique, but rather his innocence. For there are others possessed of the same awesome powers, but not so kind of heart! We also learn the fate of the Dweller, aka Harry Jr., and Victor Luchov, the Projekt Director of Perchorsk.

Lastly, in an epilogue reminiscent of Stephen King's masterful The Stand, we (along with Harry) gain insight into the nature of Evil itself, as well as a glimpse back to the paradoxical genesis of the Wamphyri themselves!

5.0 out of 5 stars Harry's only alternative, another world, June 15, 1998
By 
Tke496@aol.com (Rolling Meadows, IL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Necroscope V: Deadspawn (Mass Market Paperback)
This threw me for a loop. After reading the preceding books, I thought Harry's life couldn't get any worse, it did (Read the lost years to find out more, Poor Harry). The return of Shaitan and Shaitas was a great way to give Harry and his group a hard time and new problems. This final book in the Necroscope series before the Lost Years sets up the hero of this five book rampage to a thrilling ending. I'm still in aw after what I read.
