AmazonNecroscope is the first volume in a powerful series that has been published in more than a dozen countries and has enthralled millions of readers.
Since childhood, Harry Keogh has been able to hear and speak to dead people. The dead have been his friends, his counselors, his inspiration. Through Harry, dead composers and writers reach new audiences; dead inventors see their creations come to life. Mathematician August Mobius, dead for more than a century, teaches Harry how to fold space and time, to travel anywhere and anywhen.
Seeking revenge after his beloved mother is murdered by a psychic–and psychotic–Russian spy, Harry is recruited by Britain’s super-secret, psychically-powered spy organization, E-Branch.
The head of Russia’s ESPionage “firm” is Boris Dragosani. Like Harry, Boris can hear the dead…but only when he is mutilating their corpses. Seeking power, Boris has made a pact with an undead Thing, long buried in the mountains of Romania; they intend to conquer the West with an army of demonic warriors.
Harry Keogh and an army of the dead stand in their way. The battle will be epic.
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.
BRIAN LUMLEY is the author of the Necroscope series and many other works of horror and dark fantasy, including the Lovecraft-inspired Titus Crow series and the sf-horror novel, The House of Doors. Winner of both the World Fantasy Award and the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement, Brian Lumley lives with his wife, Silky, in Torquay, England.
