There's a lot to enjoy, especially in his beautifully macabre and horrific Necroscope series. I've recently become a big fan of Brian Lumley's work and as a professional illustrator Audiobooks are my main way of absorbing it. Opinions and ratings are my own and not influenced by how I got the Audio Book.įinally Saxon gets his Teeth into Necroscope! (I listened to James Langton’s narration before this book, but I had no problem at all with the shift) I got this Audio Book for free (thanks!). My rating is based on roughly the first hour and what I’ve heard from the main story so far. I’m saving the rest for after I’ve listened to book 3, to avoid more spoilers. I think this is an excellent addition to the series. I listened to the first story and I liked it very much. My advise would be to start listening to these short story collections after completing the main story line. (my own of course) The stories and the author’s notes contain lots of spoilers if you haven’t read book 3 yet.

'Lumley's lively mix of action and monstrosity the vampire into a wonderfully contemporary bane.I started listening to this book after listening to book 2 (Vamphyri!) because I read in another review this book was placed in the time (‘lost years’) between book 2 and 3. 'An original take on the vampire story, full of atmosphere, totally unpredictable.' -Fantasy Literature Necroscope, a finalist for the British Fantasy Award, is the first volume in a powerful series that has enthralled millions of readers with its very different look at vampires and vampire hunters, at the dead and the living and the worlds they share.

Through Harry, dead composers and writers reach new audiences dead inventors see their creations come to life. The dead have been his friends, his counselors, his inspiration.
