Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
Lumley's long-running, popular Necroscope series consists mostly of novels. This book, a collection of stories, recalls the days of the first Necroscope, or vampire hunter who can communicate with the dead, Harry Keogh. In "Dead Eddy," Keogh's trip to Las Vegas is interrupted by the spirit of Eddy, a dead gambler who wants revenge on the casino owner who had him done in. Harry agrees to help him, but gets far more than he bargained for. In "Resurrection," Harry crosses over into necromancy when he attempts to bring his dead mother back. The collection isn't devoted entirely to Harry, however. There are three other protagonists. "Inception" involves a mysterious elixir that will be crucial to the hero Titus Crow. In "The Weird Wines of Naxas Niss," David Hero and Eldin the Wanderer, a dynamic duo of sorts, infiltrate a fair, looking for a thief (Niss) who possesses magical wines. Hilarity ensues when the pair samples the wine twice. Whether humorous or atmospheric and chilling, Lumley's tales are delightful. Kristine Huntley

5.0 out of 5 stars For fans of Lumley and anyone who enjoys Lovecraft, July 24, 2003
HARRY KEOGH: NECROSCOPE AND OTHER WEIRD HEROES is clearly for fans of Brian Lumley and anyone who enjoys Lovecraft. The collection contains eight long shorts/novellas starring four of Mr. Lumley's top guns. Three stories feature Titus Crow (psychic detective). David Hero and Eldin the Wanderer (Agents of the king) travel in Dreamlands in two contributions. Finally the title character stars in three new stories not previously published.

Each tale is well written displaying Mr. Lumley's skill at world building in a realm of horror rarely seen as descriptive; my heart still remains in my throat as a power failure occurred in the middle of a Keogh thriller. This reviewer read the book by lead character, meaning first Crow's trio, then the Hero-Eldin duo and finally the three Keogh stories over several days. Thus savoring a strong collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars A taste of the great, November 5, 2003
By Tim Hopkins (Highland, Ca USA) - See all my reviews
This book was excellent. As a long time fan of Lumleys living in the states it introduced me to Hero, a series not on any of our book shelves. I couldn't put it down. When Lumley writes he wisks me away to lands of fantasy, horror and fun. As a writer myself I could only wish to acheive his level of realism in fantasy. Any fan of horror would drool over this and be hooked on Harry and Hero.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Lumley, November 26, 2007
By Daniel Merzke "The Merzk" (Placitas, New Mexico, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What has drawn us all to Brian Lumley is here in smaller portions. Having read all of the Necroscope series (most more than once) I wasn't sure if this book of shorts would do him justice. I was wrong. If you long for more of this author this is a fine way to get it.

I think it's time I delved into Titus Crow. He promises to be another great character.
