Necroscope book series

Necroscope is the title of a series of horror novels by British author Brian Lumley. The term necroscope , as defined in the series, describes someone who can communicate with the dead coined Deadspeak later in the series. Unlike necromancers , who here extract the knowledge they seek by brutal eviscerations of corpses, a necroscope can communicate with them as equals: peacefully and without any physical interference. The abilities of a necroscope are defined as a type of ESP. The character Harry Keogh born Harry Snaith , the Necroscope , is born with the ability to speak to the dead. As he grows up and his power manifests itself, he befriends the dead and learns from them that death is not the end. He believes that although the body dies, the mind goes on and the dead continue to improve and expand in death what they loved in life. From him, the once silent Great Majority learns to communicate amongst themselves, and love him for it. In turn, they offer him their knowledge: while at school, a deceased math teacher helps him with his developing mathematics talent and an ex-army sergeant teacher imparts self-defense skills. As the years go by, he has recurring dreams about his mother, dead after an apparent ice-skating accident but in reality murdered by her husband — Harry's stepfather Victor Shukshin. Shukshin is a psychic sensitive, a defector sleeper agent planted in England by the Soviet E-Branch. In his self-appointed mission to avenge his mother's death, Harry is dragged into a web of espionage involving British and Soviet ESP agencies. As Harry knows well — death is not the end, his was a success story and such stories need to go on.

The story is really unpredictable too, and I was never quite sure where it was headed, which was great. Shelve Vamphyri!

Hiding his Wamphyri features behind a golden mask and black cloak — he shuns the Wamphyri lifestyle, instead using his immense willpower to hold his vampire at bay. Lovecraft's Dreamlands. And this is a series. It has everything you want in a vampire story. I was never really caught up in the story enough to get truly involved, and I never really felt any impending terror.

A new to me series that's awesome! If only I were a necroscope, I could absorb it all in one go from some unfortunate, deceased reader who has read them all, but then what would be the fun in that? This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers. Getting through this book took longer than it should have, long chapters are exhausting for me. It's like the Simpsons of the literary world. As Harry knows well — death is not the end, his was a success story and such stories need to go on. Vampires in Lumley's novels are most often bisexual to some extent and frequently engage in various forms of incest and abuse with their offspring either by blood or by egg.
